New IBM i extension for PHP
One of the open source components we’ve built at Seiden Group is a new extension to enhance PHP’s integration with IBM i.
Although most business requirements are met by the existing ibm_db2 and PDO_ODBC extensions plus the PHP Toolkit, the new php-ibmi makes it easier to accomplish several (formerly) difficult or impossible tasks—especially for tool vendors, and when troubleshooting.
We’ve built six functions thus far, with the possibility of more in the future. Let us know what you think.
