Hmmm...can't seem to see what I need from the Zend site. I am currently
running an older version of Zend Server on my i - from phpinfo, it's PHP
Version 5.2.12. I was looking at some forum threads, and saw there was an
SP issue, and an upgrade fixed it.

Michael, do you mean a stored procedure issue? Are you experiencing this issue?

Question: How can I tell if I'm running CE or not? I assume I want to
upgrade to the same version. I guess the question is whether a license key
was entered, right?

Regarding CE or not, it's the same installation either way, but with features turned on or off depending on your license level. Did you pay a license fee to Zend for additional features and support, and then install the licence code you were given? If so then it's the full Zend Server. If not then you're running CE.

Question: Do I have to worry about the procedural vs. OO thing, or is that
all resolved in 5.3 and up?

Please elaborate. What procedural vs. OO issue are you referring to?

On http://www.zend.com/en/products/server-ce/downloads, I see *Zend Server
for IBM i (PHP 5.3), Version 5.6.0. *Is this what I want to install? And
then do I need to install *Zend Server for IBM i *5.6.0 Hotfix 5 (PHP 5.3
only)?

There's no direct "upgrade" from PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.3. You need to uninstall PHP 5.2 first, then install PHP 5.3. (Zend Server 5.6). Then install all hotfixes that are labeled as being for PHP 5.3. See this thread for basic information: http://forums.zend.com/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=18248
