RE: [PHP-DB] Connection to AS/400. From: Andrew Hill (ahill <email protected>)

Marc,

OpenLink's MT ODBC can talk to a local DB2 Connect on Linux, so you are able
to use odbc_functions to get to the DB/2 on AS/400 in a fairly
straightforward manner. If you run into problems let me know, or open a
free support case at http://www.openlinksw.com/support/suppindx.htm
