RE: [PHP-DB] PHP on WIN32 with DB2 CLI

Well in linux I use the CLI interface from php to run all my queries. I read somewhere that the native CLI interface was faster than using the ODBC driver. I have the ODBC driver working properly, I just wanted to know if it was possible to use CLI with PHP in windows (like on Linux). I guess I'll just stick with ODBC.

The PHP implementation of ODBC is quite a simplified version, but it covers most of the basic function. Chris, what is it that you are trying to do, specifically?
