Re: Upgrade Zend from 5.1.1 to 8.5

Buck - if you can't deploy a web app anyway on your IBM i there's no need to give up exploring PHP. Just download one fo the PC packages like MAMP. I personally use the Bitnami MAMP stack (https://bitnami.com/ <https://bitnami.com/>) because it provides installers for some of the packages like wordpress that I use. It includes mySQL, Apache and everything you need to run PHP on your machine. I develop a lot of stuff that way and move it to the IBM i when I know it will do the job I need.

It looks like you have the upgrade straightened out, but if not, here’s our page of Zend Server 9 (PHP 7) upgrade tips that Jon alluded to:

Thank you for the link. I don't think I am a good fit for PHP. My best
guess is that I am too much a beginner to be helped by the information
there.

It's important that I relate that this is for a hobby project. I am
expressly, explicitly, and permanently forbidden to deploy a web app.
This means that I know very little about PHP on i, and that I don't have
a lot of time to devote to researching it beyond lunch hours.

With that in mind, I gave up trying to install a more recent Zend Server
on IBM i. I don't blame Zend or IBM; I just don't know much, haven't
kept up at all, and it's apparently going to take a big chunk of time to
catch up. Time is not something I have an excess of, and since this is
a hobby project, I'm decided to cut my losses.
