Hi,
I have a DB2 database placed on a different database server (Remote) and I have my PHP pages placed on different server,
I need to connect to the DB2 database from my PHP pages.
Could somebody tell me how to do a remote connection sice my PHP pages are on a different server and my database is on a different server.
Thanks,
Gouree . . .

You can connect to a database on a different machine by specifying the appropriate parameters in the connect function. For example, mysql uses this function:

 mysql_connect(<host>, <username>, <password>);

You aren't limited to using a database on the same machine. If it is on the same machine, just use "localhost" for the host.

I think you'll need to use the odbc extension to communicate with IBM DB2.


Take care,
