Matt,
I wish you were my boss :) I love MySQL and would want to use it instead
of db2 (seeing i could probably have had it working with php last week ;) )
but.... Somehow my boss loves to waste money on IBM products....... and then
hires on people who don't know how to use them well (i.e. me!). My
philosophy is: don't waste money on it, if you can use some open source --
for example he wanted to use IBM WAS (websphere application server) but, PHP
will do everything we need to do, and is a lot easier to deal with than the
bulky WAS.
Anyways.........
I had seen the IBM document that you referenced about connecting DB2 to
PHP, in fact, it's the main document i used to start attempting to get PHP
to work with DB2. The second doc you referenced from phpbuilder.net was
definately a good find -- had a couple ideas that i hadn't tried (i.e.
catalogging the db, running apache as db2inst1 [still trying to get that to
work, db2inst1 doesn't have the priviledges that root has, and henceforth
can't access all the files needed by apache])
Matt, thanks again for all your help!
