RE: [PHP-DB] How to connec PHP on Linux to a remote AS/400 DB2

The standard edition of websphere comes free with AS400 above V4R2M0 OS. Also, ODBC to UDB2/400 is notoriously slow (many problems are caused installing incorrect versions DLLs?). The native connection DRDA is supposed to be faster. You can utilise this by installing DB2 connect for linux (not sure if it costs cash). You will need to set up UDP/tcp ports on the 400 though......believe there is IBM documentation on it somewhere. /chris -----Original Message----- From: Jarek Zgoda [mailto:jarekz@webmedia.pl] Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 4:02 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Odp: [PHP-DB] How to connec PHP on Linux to a remote AS/400 DB2 Od: "B.

The guys from IBM said the best solution for the web would be IBM WebSphere (maybe you can substitute this very expensive software with Tomcat?) and JSP if you need to get data from AS/400.
