Buck, I think PHP is great and while I am not even rated as a novice
getting to first base to achieve "hello world" or even accessing service

Here are some rudimentary steps to get a working system ... Hope this may
help you at least get it installed.

Just a quick response because I'm slammed with 'real' work.

You can download Zend Server form Zend website using the following link;
http://www.zend.com/en/products/server/downloads-ibmi

I was at that web page multiple times. I was always put off by the
'Request a trial' and 'Register for an account' bits. I think I get it now.

Despite being able to download is from ESS, Zend Server is not an IBM
product. It's a Zend product. The vendor is not IBM, the vendor is
Zend. IBM doesn't provide support, Zend does.

I need to forget that I have an IBM ESS account, and create an account
on the vendor's system, and once I've done that, I can request my free
30-day trial, which I assume is actually a full licence for IBM i customers.

I knew my IBM i brain would need adjustment to get this to work.
