Seiden PHP+: Built for IBM i. Backed by Experts.

I’m pleased to share that over the past year, we’ve rebranded our PHP distribution as Seiden PHP+.

When we first created CommunityPlus+ PHP, it was meant to fill a gap—providing a stable, supported PHP environment for IBM i after Zend Server Basic was discontinued. The new name, Seiden PHP+, better reflects our team’s role in offering and supporting this full-featured, enterprise-grade PHP stack that businesses rely on for speed, stability, and security.

Seiden PHP+ retains everything people loved about CommunityPlus+:

• Modern PHP versions (7.3 through 8.4)
• All the popular components, including ibm_db2, PDO_ODBC, and the PHP Toolkit
• Secure, signed RPMs and pre-optimized configuration
• Compatibility with existing applications

Whether you’re using PHP for new APIs or modernizing legacy web apps, Seiden PHP+ is designed to support you—as well as your team. For those who want hands-on help, our Install & Learn service is a great way to get started, and our SmartSupport program keeps your system secure and running smoothly.

Thanks to all our clients and partners who’ve helped us improve this platform. We’re proud to continue developing tools and services that move IBM i forward.

If you’re running CommunityPlus+ now, there’s no disruption when you upgrade—just a new name and continued progress.
