Re: ZendStudio i5 on Linux access DB2 on iSeries

["Kelly Cookson" <KCookson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to the PHP manual:

"To connect to IBM DB2 Universal Database for Linux, UNIX, and Windows,
or IBM Cloudscape, or Apache Derby, you must install an IBM DB2
Universal Database client on the same computer on which you are running
PHP. The extension has been developed and tested with DB2 Version 8.2." 
"To connect to IBM DB2 Universal Database for z/OS or iSeries, you also
require IBM DB2 Connect or the equivalent DRDA gateway software."

This is the problem Aaron is having. PHP is being run on something other
than the AS400, while the DB2 database is on the AS400.
