Re: Calling a stored procedure that exists ontheAs/400fromPHP -- WEB400

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

The rule is: the DB2_ functions can only be used to access a DB2 database installed on the same machine that runs your PHP scripts.

If you are running your PHP scripts in the Zend Core, Zend Platform, or Zend Server on the IBM i, then you can use the DB2_ functions to access the DB2400 database on the IBM i. I actually prefer this to the i5_ functions.

If you are running your PHP scripts in a web server located on a machine using the Windows operating system, then you will need to set up an ODBC (JDBC, etc) connection between your scripts on the Windows machine and the DB2400 database on the IBM i.

I can't say what kind of a performance difference there would be between these two options.

Please forgive my ignorance. Do you mean which zend client that I develop in
using Windows?
I don't think I need anything installed on Windows if I am developing and
running my scripts straight off the i.
Maybe someone else can chime in if I am misleading you...
