Set up a regular PHP server on a Linux or Windows box, from a standard open source package. Install the Easycom PHP Extension, and your web application gets a secure connection to DB2 data, OS/400 objects and native programs or procedures, through its complete and portable API functions.
Available for IBM i, Linux and Windows, Easycom For PHP provides portability across platforms.
- On any PHP server on IBM i, such as Zend Core and Zend Server.
- On any Linux PHP server (LAMP), connected to your IBM i – AS/400.
- On any Windows PHP server (WAMP), connected to your IBM i – AS/400.
To use a Linux or Windows system as a PHP server, connected to IBM i, you don't need to install PHP For IBM i. Use your regular PHP on your server or station. Easycom provides the communication between your PHP server, and native programs and databases.
