Re: Remote db2_connect in PHP

Yes, that appears correct to me. Mike P (or others) may confirm.

Are you sure port 50000 is not being hijacked by another process? I would pick a very unique port rather than one that may be reasonably well known.

Does it need to be set up like this?

$database = "RDBNAME";
$hostname = "HOSTNAME";
$port = 50000;
$authID = "USERNAME";
$auth_pass = "PASSWORD";


$dsn = "DATABASE=$database;HOSTNAME=$hostname;PORT=$port;
PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=$authID;PWD=$auth_pass;";

$i5 = db2_connect($dsn, "", "", "");

I've tried it with and without the port. IIRC, 50000 is the DRDA port.

data instead of MySQL from the desktop.......

Man...I'm having a problem connecting to a remote i using the

db2_connect.

My PHP code works fine when I connect to *LOCAL. I'd like to run my PHP

code

on the same i as it is now, but have the db2_connect point to a different

i.

What do I need to do to access the other i? I've googled and checked out

the

Zend manual, but the connection fails regardless of my technique. Anyone
have an example? Do I need a server running that would normally run at

port

50000? Do I use the database name in relational database directory?

Thanks!
