According to Larry Hotchkiss on Jan 31,2001 <Quote> Its my understanding that you use the odbc functions to access db/2 400. I also recall reading that the db2/400 functionality is true db2 functionality and does not use the generic odbc layer even though it is grouped in. Apparently its smart enough to know. Depending on where you got your windows ver of php, you should just be able to uncomment the line in your php.ini so it can use odbc and make sure the extension path is set correctly. <end Quote> -- <?php /* Stephen Johnson c | eh The Lone Coder http://www.thelonecoder.com stephen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 562.924.4454 (office) 562.924.4075 (fax) continuing the struggle against bad code */ ?> > From: "Richard Lynch" <ceo@xxxxxxxxx> > Reply-To: ceo@xxxxxxxxx > Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2005 10:57:30 -0800 (PST) > To: "Frank Arensmeier" <frank.arensmeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: "php list general" <php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: Connecting to a AS/400? > > Frank Arensmeier wrote: >> Is there anyone who has some experience in connecting to a IBM AS/400 >> server with PHP?
