Re: Can you read a file in QTEMP on the i5 via the PHP script?

[Tech Guru <techguru@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

I don't think that you could do this. The QTEMP/library is tied to the
specific job and I believe that the I5_CMD job launches a new job for each
command or program call that is executed. So the job that you created the
QTEMP file in would end before your PHP script could access the data.

Why not make your program a stored procedure and pass back a dataset to the
PHP script?  That would solve the initial problem as well as take your PHP
code one more step toward platform independence.
