Re: Remote db2_connect in PHP -- WEB400

If I specify the local i (the one the PHP is running on), the i5_pconnect
(or i5_connect) works. If I specify a different host name (my desired
target), the i5_connect fails.

If I use db2_connect and I either specify *LOCAL (with or without user
names), or leave the parameters null, the connect works. If I specify the
remote host name, it fails.

I've also tried db2_connect with this approach:

$dsn = "DATABASE=$database;HOSTNAME=$hostname;
PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=$authID;PWD=$auth_pass;";
$i5 = db2_connect($dsn, "", "");

I still can't seem to get a connection made to a remote system to access
remote system tables.

Thanks...

Sean:

In your i5_connect example, does $hostname contain the name of a remote i?
That's what I'm trying to do.

Thanks...

I have:
$conn = i5_pconnect($hostname,$db2username,$db2password);

I haven't coded the db2_ myself, but I'm pretty sure that's what is in
Mantis400.

For the Mantis connection, I have schema defined as well as hostname,
database name, user, password. Changing the database name caused it to
connect to my other system.

I never specified a port number.

Does it need to be set up like this?

$database = "RDBNAME";
$hostname = "HOSTNAME";
$port = 50000;
$authID = "USERNAME";
$auth_pass = "PASSWORD";

$dsn = "DATABASE=$database;HOSTNAME=$hostname;PORT=$port;
PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=$authID;PWD=$auth_pass;";

$i5 = db2_connect($dsn, "", "", "");

I've tried it with and without the port. IIRC, 50000 is the DRDA port.

While I have not tried connecting without the Relational Database Name
being different than what I am connecting to, I think it does need to
be there. I even saw one install where one of the database names was
"localhost". That took some time to figure out why we always got DB/2
data instead of MySQL from the desktop.......

Pro* Man...I'm having a problem connecting to a remote i using the

db2_connect.

My PHP code works fine when I connect to *LOCAL. I'd like to run my
PHP

code

on the same i as it is now, but have the db2_connect point to a
different

i.

What do I need to do to access the other i? I've googled and checked
out

the

Zend manual, but the connection fails regardless of my technique.
Anyone have an example? Do I need a server running that would
normally run at

port

50000? Do I use the database name in relational database directory?

Thanks!
