Re: php and iseries

The toolkit and ODBC can be used to access IBM i resources allowing the PHP and Apache to be on any platform.

Many of us, myself included, run Apache and PHP on the IBM i - which is probably more efficient.

The IBM i version of Apache is "hardened" by IBM and has additional directive options to facilitate security etc.

If you management are concerned about openoiingh the box up to the world you can simply use a proxy between the IBM i and the real world - which would still allow high speed access from within the organization.

our company is looking to use php for all our web applications. The server will be running off a windows server using apache. The examples i've seen seem to have apache installed on the iseries.

Does apache need to be installed on the iseries in order to use php and ibmitoolkit?
