Here is a link to Alan Seiden's presentation on just that topic. Refer to page 18 or so, though the whole thing is a good read.

I am relatively new to working on the iSeries. In the past (for a
previous non-IBMi employer), I've written PHP scripts on a Linux
server that would perform ETL functions on a web service and store the
data to local SQL server. The PHP script would not require a web
server and run from the CLI via cron. In the cronjob, I would call "0
1 * * * /usr/bin/php /opt/scripts/fetchXMLData.php" every morning at
1:00am. I would like to do the same on the iSeries to eliminate the
need of building a linux server, but I'm not sure how to call PHP and
the script from CLI/PASE; which would eventually be called from
WRKJOBSCDE. Can anyone point me in a direction; if this is even possible?
