Yes, this part works assuming you have the DB2 client libs and header files on the machine you are building PHP on. > 2. has anybody ever tried to connect to a different host with db2? Yes. I have connected to DB2 running on a remote AIX box from PHP running on a Linux box. > 3. does i have a chance? The problem you have is that DB2 on AS/400 is very different from DB2 on AIX. You need to go through the DB2 Connect thing you mentioned, and I am not sure anybody has gotten that to work with PHP. I haven't tried this myself. -Rasmus
