have to end/start Zend Server for changes to take effect.

Whoa! Is caching my issue (he asks rhetorically)? I *think* it may be
working, but do I have to end/start Zendsvr for changes to be effective
in a
PHP script?

Michael,

This works for DB2. It does not work for the i5 toolkit. Here is
what
I did.

1) Setup up WRKRDBDIRE on local IBM i with pointer to remote IBM i.
2) Verify the remote connection is working via the CONNECT option in
ISQL (If it don't work in the Green Screen it won't work in PHP!)
3) Create PHP script that is going to access remote system using
remote
name from WRKRDBDIRE
4) Must have credentials for remote system.

Let's chat if you have problems.

Regards,

Mike

Subject: Re: [WEB400] Remote db2_connect in PHP

If I specify the local i (the one the PHP is running on), the
i5_pconnect
(or i5_connect) works. If I specify a different host name (my desired
target), the i5_connect fails.

If I use db2_connect and I either specify *LOCAL (with or without user
names), or leave the parameters null, the connect works. If I specify
the
remote host name, it fails.

I've also tried db2_connect with this approach:

$dsn = "DATABASE=$database;HOSTNAME=$hostname;
PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=$authID;PWD=$auth_pass;";
$i5 = db2_connect($dsn, "", "");

I still can't seem to get a connection made to a remote system to
access
remote system tables.

Thanks...

Sean:

In your i5_connect example, does $hostname contain the name of a
remote i?
That's what I'm trying to do.

Thanks...

I have:
$conn = i5_pconnect($hostname,$db2username,$db2password);

I haven't coded the db2_ myself, but I'm pretty sure that's what is
in
Mantis400.

For the Mantis connection, I have schema defined as well as
hostname,
database name, user, password. Changing the database name caused
it
to
connect to my other system.

I never specified a port number.

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.

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

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

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

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

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