Ahh...so here's what we can do with db2:You
"SELECT * FROM MYLIB/MYFILE
OPTIMIZE FOR 50 ROWS
FETCH FIRST 50 ROWS ONLY"
Or however many rows we want.

Here's a simple db2_ example. Suppose you wanted to read a file called
MYLIB/MEMBERS. The file has three fields: FNAME, LNAME, and PHONE.
//Connect to the database
$conn = db2_connect("", "", "")
or die(db2_conn_errormsg());
//Prepare the SQL Query for execution
$query = "SELECT * FROM MYLIB.MEMBERS";
$statement = db2_prepare($conn, $query)
or die(db2_stmt_errormsg());
//Execute the query
db2_execute($statement)
or die(db2_stmt_errormsg());
//Retrieve the results
while ($row = db2_fetch_assoc($statement))
{
$first_name = $row["FNAME"];
$last_name = $row["LNAME"];
$phone_number = $row["PHONE"];
//process or display the data
}
//Close the connection
db2_close($conn);
Hope that helps a little.

Re: [WEB400] php vs net.data
I don't know. But you don't need to use the i5_ database functions.
can use the db2_ functions. Check out the db2_ database functions at:something
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.ibm-db2.php
I'm assuming that pagination with LIMIT would work with the db2_
database functions. I haven't tried it, though.
I prefer using the db2_ functions because you get more functionality
than provided in the PHP Toolkit. I especially like using
db2_fetch_assoc because you get an associative array where the key is
the name of the field in the DB2 file. It makes code that processes
results much easier to read. I grew up on COBOL and like
self-documenting code.
I do use i5_ functions for other stuff. I don't want to imply
is wrong with the PHP Toolkit.starting

Pretty cool, Kelly. The only question is will it work with ZendCore
using
i5_query instead of mysql_query?

Does anyone know if there is a PHP equivalent for the Net.Data report
variables called RPT_MAX_ROWS (which limits the number of report rows
returned by a SQL call) and START_ROW_NUM (which determines the
row of a SQL result set to show)
