Re: [PHP4BETA] PHP and IBM DB2

We did something similar from Windows NT to IBM DB2 Mainframe.... The ODBC set up was a nightmare. Other than that, it was ok. I don't thing you should have a problem once get the ODBC drivers set up. Another option that you may have would be to use the Java Interface and use JAVA to connect to the Mainframe. Visual Age for JAVA provides a slew of connection methods including JDBC and CICS Client...... Shantul. Cary Collett wrote: > I have a need to talk to DB2 on an IBM mainframe from a Solaris > box.
