The AS400 was discussed on this list, or possible on the predecessor list which was just php@lists.php.net back in the day when there was only one PHP mailing list (not counting internal developer lists). As I recall, a straight ODBC connection was not quite enough, and some Voodoo had to be performed to get it to work, but it was possible. I also vaguely recall that the AS400 ended up being READ-ONLY, at least under one variant of that voodoo... But this is going WAAAAAAY back in time, so you'll need to search the archives to confirm. But, for sure, some developers have faced and at least partially solved this at some time in the past, so it's worth digging for it. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
