OK, here is what it is all about: http://www.itjungle.com/fhs/fhs071905-story02.html
This is an article from last July that mentions the Zend support but yeah, it is still in PASE. The "advantage" of Zend Core for IBM is that it is a "supported" product from Zend, presumably with IBM's blessing. The article mentions a support option as well.
Looks like the packaging plus support for DB2/400 are the main advantages here (the DB2/400 support is nice but they mention that it takes a DB2 Connect license to make it work). As to a "true" native port, there isn't much hope for it.
I guess I'll stick with PHP and MySQL (or use the generic ODBC connector to get to DB2/400 tables). Looks like PASE is the only option at this point and in the foreseeable future.

By "native" I was under the impression that the "native" port was not just a set of binaries that ran in PASE but that PHP would be interpreted by programs running in the native i5/OS.I'm not sure about PHP, but I know IBM's position on PASE in general is that if it runs under PASE it is "native" to OS/400. I know what you're saying, but what's the point of making something more native than PASE? DNS runs in PASE and we all say that the i5 can run DNS, right? -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x3051 WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.
