Haven't tried from zLinux yet, but I've done a lot with PHP and DB2 on z/OS. Good Redbook that might give some additional pointers if you haven't seen it:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247218.html?Open There are also several flavors of drivers like ibm_db2, PDO_IBM/PDO_ODBC, and Unified ODBC. Not sure which are available for zLinux but I suspect each might have different variations of how hard they are to install and pros/cons. __________________________________ Tom Stewart Infrastructure Analyst John Deere - z/OS Support Services em: stewartthom...@johndeere.com __________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Jones, Russell Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 4:00 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: PHP to DB2 connection Has anyone been successful at connecting to DB2 from PHP? The research I have done indicates that I will need to compile php from source with DB2 support. I have found instructions on how to download the source, run the configure, and makefile, but I am running SUSE 10 which uses rpms. I am thinking that I need to create a new php rpm, and install it that way. I am not sure where to start creating my own rpm. Is there somewhere I could download a prepackaged php rmp with DB2 support for ZLinux? Am I even on the right track?
