Introduction

PDO_IBM is a driver that implements the PHP Data Objects (PDO) interface to enable access from PHP to IBM databases.

Installation

To build the PDO_IBM extension, the DB2 Client v9.1 or later must be installed on the same system as PHP. The DB2 Client can be downloaded from the IBM Application Development Site.

PDO_IBM is a PECL extension, so follow the instructions in Chapter 7 to install the PDO_IBM extension. Issue the configure command to point to the location of your DB2 Client header files and libraries as follows:

bash$ ./configure --with-pdo-ibm=/path/to/sqllib[,shared]
