XMLSERVICE

XMLSERVICE continues working with the Zend team to bring Zend Server to IBM i. If you are interested in IBM i Zend Server see this link for additional information {http://www.zend.com/en/products/server}.

This page is mostly for developers of PHP toolkit

We use this page to hold new and experimental copies of the php toolkit, ibm_db2, pdo_ibm, etc. You may use any information you find here, but the official php toolkit documentation is stored at Zend Server links.

PHP easy to follow samples

Sample code common tasks PHP ibm_db2 and PHP toolkit.

  • {quick.zip} - PHP samples
    • db2.php - PHP db2.php includes multiple ibm_db2 create table, create keys, prepare/execute, exec, call stored procedures, blobs (and web display blob image), etc.
    • toolkit.php - PHP toolkit.php include many examples simple *PGM, *SRVPGM, *CMD, PASE, but also includes complex data structures and complex system API calls.
