Get PHP on i - Webcast
Speaker: Bruce Wassell, IBM

3 December 2008 @ 1:00 pm

 

In the next webcast from COMMON UK, we bring you the opportunity to get up and running with PHP on i and access open-source applications, to get the best out of this new environment for the i Series.

IBM's Bruce Wassell will provide a brief introduction to PHP and MySQL and provide some detail on distributions for IBM i available from the Zend and MySQL corporations respectively together with a review of the latest announcements pertinent to i.  He will then give a overview on how to install and configure the two products, together with a brief introduction to programming for this environment with reference to a simple example. The webcast will conclude with a survey of Open Source applications available that may be run on IBM i systems.


For i5/OS V6R1, all programs created for previous releases that use the i5/OS Machine Interface (MI) must be converted. IBM will explain the benefits of program conversion, and how you can use a free tool on V5R4 or V5R3 to estimate conversion times and check whether you have any programs that cannot simply be converted.
