Actually, readfile() will take an absolute path. You can use it to read
in a file anywhere in the IFS.

Re: [WEB400] View a PDF document from IFS using PHP with ZEND
You can use the function readfile to load the file to the browser so that
it can be downloaded. In this case, as far as I know, the pdf needs to
reside somewhere under the document root directory so that PHP can access
it. I haven't had a need to access files on our IFS using PHP. If I did I
might just create a symbolic link somewhere under the document root that
linked to the IFS folder I wanted access. I'm not sure if that's the best
solution, but I would think it would at least work.

How do you view a PDF from a PHP file from system i IFS?
I did some research and only found information on manipulating the PDF.
Thanks.
