Unless your PHP server is on I, or you have the DB2 Connect product
installed on your Server, You can't use db2_connect to attach to DB2 on
IBM I. I have used ODBC successfully from a Windows server though.

We are trying to execute a PHP script on a Linux x86 server that accesses
the DB2 database on an IBM i and are receiving the following error. We
would appreciate any specific guidance.

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function db2_connect() in
/var/www/product/product_dropdown.php

Googling seems to point to installing PECL on the Linux server. The docs
usually reference IBM DB2 Universal Database and do not mention the IBM i
DB2 database so we are are unsure if this is the remedy.
