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.
I thank Mike Pavlak from Zend and Alan Seiden from alanseiden.com for
sharing valuable points with me.
Step 1: downloaded the IBM i Zend from :
http://www.zend.com/en/products/server/downloads
Step 2: downloaded and installed XML Toolkit for IBM i update from:
http://www.zend.com/en/products/server/downloads
Note: The Toolkit demo programs will sometimes not work after the PTF is
applied.
Complete the following steps to overcome this issue:
1. Stop Zend Server subsystems by entering:
- GO ZENDSVR/ZSMENU ->option 5 ->option 2
2. Start QSH shell by entering:
QSH
3. Change to Toolkit directory by entering:
cd /usr/local/zendsvr/share/ToolkitAPI
4. Run script by entering:
ToolkitIpcrm.sh
5. Press F3 to exit QSH shell
6. Start Zend Server subsystems by entering:
GO ZENDSVR/ZSMENU ->option 5 ->option 1
Now I can run the Toolkit programs from our IBM I server at:

I recommend document: PHP-Toolkit-from-Zend-and-IBM-2013.pdf
Step 3: learned much at
http://youngiprofessionals.com/wiki/XMLSERVICE
Step 4: viewed and listened to Alan Seiden's excellent presentation at:
http://www.zend.com/en/webinar/IBMi/70170000000bzBD-PHPToolkit-20130306.

in which Alan discusses the Toolkit extensively.
http://www.alanseiden.com/toolkit/
Read document PHP-for-batch-taskes-on-IBM.pdf which is very informative.
Step 5: got some remote support from Alan Seiden via email in which he
coached me on how to modify the Toolkit examples so I can run my own
programs and commands.
Step 6: I have success at last in using PHP to run CL programs and IBM
commands on the IBM i.
