We too are contemplating using Zend Framework on an i5 to access a DB2 database on the i5.

Is this what you are trying to do, and have you had any luck doing it?

My consultant is perplexed because Framework apparently uses "PDO_ODBC" to connect to databases, and according to the IBM RedBook, "PHP: Zend for i5/OS" "PDO_ODBC" is not currently supported with DB2 for i5/OS.

Have you found any workarounds for this?

Thanks, Dave
