Re: Offer to access IBM i (at version 7) to produce Open Source software and API examples

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

What you suggest certainly fits within the offer, our goal is to be sure 
the PHP code involves the IBM i system in some way.  That's what's 
important.  How is up to the developer.  In this specific case the PHP 
would be accessing an IBM i function to call RPG, hence the phrase 
"...other IBM i functions..."!
