ibm_db2

&reftitle.intro; These functions enable you to access IBM DB2 Universal Database, IBM Cloudscape, and Apache Derby databases using the DB2 Call Level Interface (DB2 CLI).

&reftitle.required; To connect to IBM DB2 Universal Database for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, or IBM Cloudscape, or Apache Derby, you must install an IBM DB2 Universal Database client on the same computer on which you are running PHP.

To connect to IBM DB2 Universal Database for z/OS or iSeries, you also require IBM DB2 Connect or the equivalent DRDA gateway software. On Linux or Unix operating systems, ensure that the user invoking the PHP executable or SAPI has sourced the DB2 instance environment before accessing these functions. If you created a DB2 instance in /home/db2inst1/, for example, you must issue the following command to modify your environment variables to enable access to DB2: To enable your PHP-enabled Web server to access these functions, you must add the same command to your Web server start script (typically /etc/init.d/httpd or /etc/init.d/apache).
