I have to install DB2 PHP driver on Centos 8 for make requests to IBMi (AS400) with PHP 7 and nginx,
I try to find a guide but unfortunately i can’t find anything.
So I ask you, do you have a link or tips for this ? Thanks.
There are a few options depending on how much you want to spend tellpopeyes.
ODBC - This is likely going to be your least expensive option. You can get the drivers from the IBM i Access product mentioned by jamesallman. The IBM customer likely already has IBM i Access Client Solutions, and would already be licensed to use the driver. If you don’t have the Linux drivers, here is a starting point.
IBM_DB2 / PDO_DB2 - both of these need a DB2 client. The client required by IBM i is provided with the DB2 Connect product. If you don’t already have a license for that, it is also available from IBM, but it is in the “If you have to ask, it’s too expensive” category.
