| Notes: | PHP handout |
PHP is the leading scripting language deployed on the internet. It is now available on i5/OS at no additional charge. See how it's supported in i5/OS, and see the development environment as designed for the i5/OS environment. There are several extensions to allow PHP to access traditional i5/OS application resources such as DB2 for i5/OS, traditional programs, & commands. If internet access is available, live demos will be done.
