Tom,
I think the main reason is that there are MANY different ways you could be
doing it. You could be prompting for user and password via Apache or your
own form. If it is your own form, once you have the signon and password,
you could be storing them as session variables, in an encrypted temp file
in the IFS, or any number of other scenarios. The example in the manual
is really just there to explain the i5_connect function. How you use it
is up to you.

Re: [WEB400] PHP - authenticate and authorize using AS400 profile
Mike,
How about the i5_connect that is in mentioned in this thread?
Here is the example from the user guide:
$conn = i5_connect("1.2.3.4", "MYUSER", "MYPWD");
if (!$conn) {
die(i5_errormsg());
}
Why would the example have a hard-coded user name and password? Who would
do
that?
I am not picking on ZEND, this seems to be the norm. Every example is a
'hello world' example.
Yet taking that to a practical step is where the blood sweat and tears
come
in.
So where do I go from there to find out how to have the user key in their
user id and password?
Mr. Google and forums like this, I guess. But sometimes when you go to Mr.
Google, you find that the examples out there are not correct.
Ok, I am done ranting. Thanks for reading this.

Tom,
Have you tried the Zend Core for i5/OS User Guide? It is located here and
there are many examples:
http://www.zend.com/topics/Zend-Core-User-Guide-i5OS-V261.pdf
Whether you consider them "good" or not is another discussion :-)
Also, which i5 functions do you have questions about? I have sample code
on
many of them and can provide if desired.
Regards,
Mike
