PHP on IBM i can be provided either through Zend Server or community PHP. While PHP has been available on the platform since 2006 you may not be familiar with how PHP runs on the platform and the tools that are provided for managing the environment. In this session, we will explore the structure of how the PHP engine runs on the i platform including a description of the subsystems employed and some basic troubleshooting. We will also take a look at the 5250-based management system (zsmenu) for managing the configuration files, jobs, and subsystems, as well as the Zend Server Web GUI for working with various features of the basic edition of Zend Server including server configuration management, monitoring, and root cause analysis. This session will also explore how to install and manage community PHP on the platform.
