PHP for System-i
With Mike Pavlak

Getting Started with PHP on IBM System-i - PHP has become a significant component of the IBM i development portfolio. This session introduces the steps to get going with PHP in the typical IBM i environment. Topics include software installation, configuration, troubleshooting and basic PHP script creation as well as a sneak preview of the next generation PHP stack for IBM I called Zend Server for IBM i. Come see how to enable your DB2 content quickly and easily using the world's most popular web scripting language.

PHP 101 Development - Come see what PHP code looks like on IBM i. This session builds upon the concepts explored in the 'Getting Started' session. Topics include everything from Hello World on through a database listing and i5 Program call. This is a must see session for anyone looking to explore options beyond just RPG or Net.Data.

Function Junction - Come to see how functions work, are created and used in this session. The presentation is loaded with examples from the PHP library of over 5,000 functions as well as an in depth study of how to create user defined functions. Many comparisons to RPG sub-procedure model are made during this presentation. A discussion of variable scope and the conversion of an inline PHP script to a functional script are discussed.

PHP Arrays for the RPG Programmer - Until recently RPG has neglected the sophistication of elegant array processing while PHP has supported the use of arrays since its inception. Come to this session to see why array processing is so important and how many of the over 70 array function relate to RPG operation codes and built-in functions. You will see how arrays are used to pass parameters between functions and programs as well as how arrays can be used to supplant nearly all of the purposes data structures serve in RPG.

PHP Web Services on IBM System-I - This session will be a basic level discussion of how to easily enable legacy applications through web services. Learn how to create a PHP wrapper or simple SOAP example. You will be ready to start writing your own web services applications upon the conclusion of this webinar.
