These functions enable you to access IBM DB2 Universal Database, IBM
Cloudscape, and Apache Derby databases using the DB2 Call Level Interface
(DB2 CLI).
To connect to IBM DB2 Universal Database for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, or
IBM Cloudscape, or Apache Derby, you must install an IBM DB2 Universal
Database client on the same computer on which you are running PHP. The
extension has been developed and tested with DB2 Version 8.2.
To connect to IBM DB2 Universal Database for z/OS or iSeries, you also
require IBM DB2 Connect or the equivalent DRDA gateway software.
The user invoking the PHP executable or SAPI must specify the DB2 instance
before accessing these functions. You can set the name of the DB2 instance
in php.ini using the ibm_db2.instance_name
configuration option, or you can source the DB2 instance profile before
invoking the PHP executable.
If you created a DB2 instance named db2inst1 in
/home/db2inst1/, for example, you can add the
following line to php.ini:
ibm_db2.instance_name=db2inst1
If you do not set this option in php.ini, you must issue the
following command to modify your environment variables to enable access to
DB2:
bash$ source /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile
To enable your PHP-enabled Web server to access these functions, you must
either set the ibm_db2.instance_name configuration
option in php.ini, or source the DB2 instance environment in your Web
server start script (typically /etc/init.d/httpd or
/etc/init.d/apache).
To build the ibm_db2 extension, the DB2 application development header
files and libraries must be installed on your system. DB2 does not install
these by default, so you may have to return to your DB2 installer and add
this option. The header files are included with the DB2 Application
Development Client freely available for download from the IBM DB2 Universal
Database support site.
If you add the DB2 application development header files and libraries to
a Linux or Unix operating system on which DB2 was already installed, you
must issue the command db2iupdt -e to update the symbolic
links to the header files and libraries in your DB2 instances.
ibm_db2 is a PECL extension, so follow the
instructions in Гл. 7 to install the ibm_db2
extension for PHP. Issue the configure command to point
to the location of your DB2 header files and libraries as follows:
bash$ ./configure --with-IBM_DB2=/path/to/DB2
The configure command defaults to
/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1.
On Linux and UNIX operating systems, this option defines the name of the
instance to use for cataloged database connections. If this option is set,
its value overrides the DB2INSTANCE environment variable setting.
This option is ignored on Windows operating systems.
Перечисленные ниже константы определены данным расширением и могут быть

данное расширение подгружается во время выполнения.
Specifies a scrollable cursor for a statement resource. This mode enables
random access to rows in a result set, but currently is supported only by
IBM DB2 Universal Database.
