Re: ZendStudio i5 on Linux access DB2 on iSeries

I'm not sure if you have seen this, but it might be worth a try. I don't have access to a linux box, so I can't try.

# apt-get install rpm
# apt-get install alien
# alien -i iSeriesODBC-5.1.0-0.16.i386.rpm
# ln -s /opt/ibm/iSeriesODBC/lib/libcwb* /usr/lib

A search on iSeriesODBC-5.1.0-0.16.i386.rpm brought up quite a few hits.

Correct, and the deeper I dug on the front of IBM DB2 Connect, the more it
started to look like IBM wanted to charge me for it.

According to the PHP manual:

"To connect to IBM DB2 Universal Database for Linux, UNIX, and Windows,
or IBM Cloudscape, or Apache Derby, you must install an IBM DB2
Universal Database client on the same computer on which you are running
PHP. The extension has been developed and tested with DB2 Version 8.2."
"To connect to IBM DB2 Universal Database for z/OS or iSeries, you also
require IBM DB2 Connect or the equivalent DRDA gateway software."

This is the problem Aaron is having. PHP is being run on something other
than the AS400, while the DB2 database is on the AS400.

So back to my original question... anybody have a "acceptable" or
"industry
standard" way to communicate to iSeries DB2 when PHP is running on
Linux?
Doesn't seem like it should be this hard :-(


What about the db2* functions...are they included in the linux PHP
install?

More info.
