Have you tried Net.Data? It is fitted so well to the native iSeries stuff - yes, that also exists in PHP, it seems. But for simple? Wow - I remember it was the utmost in simple. Standard HTML plus script statements that relate directly to what we use on the iSeries - almost no learning curve here.

All those PHP developers out there are probably not working against an iSeries - so one will have to do lots of adjustments and mods, I bet - of course, I've used it yet  ;-)
