RE: [PHP-DB] Connection to AS/400.

Thanks Stefan :) Nicolas, ODBC does indeed exist for Linux - to use it with PHP you need to build PHP with an ODBC Driver Manager, such as iODBC. A HOWTO for this is available at the www.iodbc.org site. You still need a driver for PHP to use with the Driver Manager, however, and there is not currently an ODBC driver that will talk to AS/400 directly. As a work around, you can use OpenLink's Multi-Tier ODBC driver on the Linux box to talk to DB2 Connect, e.g. install Multi-Tier drivers with client and server component both on the Linux box, install DB2 Connect on the same Linux box and configure a service to the AS/400, and then configure your ODBC DSN to with the existing DB2 Connect service name in the Database name field. Our Multi-Tier drivers are available for free download at http://www.openlinksw.com. They do not expire and come with a free 2 user connection. Also, free support is available at http://www.openlinksw.com/support/suppindx.htm if you run into problems. Hope this helps!
