What are the versions of your AS400 and DB2 for Linux? I had tryied to
connect on an AS400 some time ago without success (both from Linux and
AIX)! And from what I read on that time I tought the only way to connect
to an AS400 is from windows!

This isn't difficult (but isn't simple too!), try compile PHP using
--with-ibm-db2, and then use the "odbc" comand set (odbc_connect, etc).
The implentation of DB2 in PHP uses the odbc calls (it isn't odbc, it uses
the native DB2 cli). I use it here on my university to access a DB2 AIX
box from my Linux Web Server.
