Introduction
The PHP Toolkit for IBM i (Toolkit) is a PHP-based front end to XMLSERVICE that helps programmers call RPG and CL programs along with other native resources from within PHP.
The Toolkit is open source and has been developed with help from Alan Seiden and the community.
Discussion of the Toolkit takes place in GitHub Discussions: https://github.com/zendtech/IbmiToolkit/discussions
Current Main Features:
- Ability to call RPG, CL, and COBOL
- Run interactive commands such as ‘wrkactjob’
- Transport-neutral, supporting DB2, ODBC, and HTTP, and others as needed
- Compatibility wrapper to execute Easycom syntax
- Support of all RPG parameter types, including data structures, packed decimal, and output parameters
XMLSERVICE ships with the IBM i in QXMLSERV. The PHP IBM i Toolkit is shipped with Zend Server and Seiden PHP+. Being open source, they can also be downloaded, installed, and upgraded separately.
