PHP for Batch Tasks on IBM i

Last night I gave a talk at the FASUG user group about how to use PHP as a powerful general utility language that can be called from CL programs on the IBM i. I also showed how Zend Server’s new Job Queue feature can accomplish similar goals–scheduling and automating PHP scripts–using a pure PHP interface rather than CL.

I also discussed the IBM i’s latest PHP package: Zend Server for IBM i. I explained its similarities to and differences from Zend Core.

Here are the PowerPoint slides.
