PDO_IBM

Interface for PHP to DB2 for z/OS, DB2 for LUW, DB2 for i.

IBM i users

When running on IBM i, PDO_IBM doesn't link with the Db2 LUW client library, but instead with libdb400, which provides a PASE wrapper for SQL/CLI. The differences between SQL/CLI in IBM i and the LUW driver are wrapped for you. You don't need Db2 Connect on IBM i as a result.

To install, make sure you have the new Yum-based OSS environment. Install PHP, plus any dependencies like so:

yum install sqlcli-devel gcc make-gnu

Tony Cairns' replacement libdb400 is not yet tested, but may be desirable due to its greater debugging features.

IBM i users should read tests/README400.txt in order to set up prequisites for unit tests.

LUW/z/Db2 Connect users

CLIDRIVER should be installed in your system. If not installed Download from the below link.

How to install php pdo_ibm extension in Linux/Mac

if IBM_DB_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable not set then set them with installed CLIDRIVER.
(say CLIDRIVER installed at "/home/user/clidriver")

export IBM_DB_HOME=/home/user/clidriver 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/clidriver/lib

1) pecl install pdo_ibm
        
2) Open the php.ini file in an editor of your choice. Edit the extension entry in the
   php.ini file in the <local_php_directory>/php/lib directory to reference the PHP driver:
       extension=pdo_ibm.so
       
3) Ensure that the PHP driver can access the libdb2.so CLI driver file by
   setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable for Linux and UNIX operating systems
   other than the AIX® operating system. For AIX operating system, you must set LIBPATH variable. 

4) Optional: If the PHP application that is connecting to an IBM database server is running ini
   the HTTP server environment, add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable in the httpd.conf file.
