PHP for Batch Jobs on IBM i
Alan Seiden, Strategic Business Systems, Inc.

April 20, 2010 FASUG Meeting

PHP is famous for its ability to build web-based front ends, but it's also a flexible tool to use within batch processes. Alan will show how to accomplish marvelous tasks by calling PHP from ordinary CL programs.

Examples of PHP in batch situations will include:

Alan will show how this is done for both Zend Core and its new version, Zend Server.

First, Alan will provide a preview of Zend Server and a demo of how to get started developing your own PHP applications.
