Re: newbie: how to connect to a remote DB

Oops, maybe my question wasn't clear? From PHP how do I open a connection? Also I do not want to connect to a mySQL DB. I want to connect from PHP to an AS/400 DB (DB2 I guess) that is on another machine on the LAN. Thanks again! Jc

I have PHP and Apache set up on a Linux machine. I would like to open a DB connection to an A/S400 machine on our network. How do I go about it? My PHP books only cover local mySQL and ODBC connection, nothing on remote connections. Any links to material I should read or tutorials are appreciated!
