Welcome to the September edition of the Zend IBM i Newsletter! This is a monthly newsletter dedicated to PHP for the IBM i community.
ZendCon: October 19th – October 22nd
San Jose, California
For many September means school is back in sessions: time to continue ones education and meet new people. For many in the PHP community September also means ZendCon is around the corner.
The conference will be the largest gathering of the PHP Community and will bring together PHP developers and business managers from around the world for three days of exceptional presentations and networking events. At ZendCon 2009, sessions will focus on creating, deploying and managing applications that take advantage of the speed, scalability and simplicity of PHP.
Below is a list of the i5-specific tracks and:
"Zend Core for IBM i Security Consideration" presented by Tony Cairns, IBM
Practical security considerations for PHP on i5/OS. This session will cover i5/OS specific administrative concerns with Apache setup (PASE/ILE), files, libraries, etc. Followed by i5/OS unique PHP programming APIs from i5/OS toolkit and various DB2 direct access considerations. This will not duplicate other sessions covering in-depth PHP programming security issues.
"Mazda: Advanced web services and PHP: strengths & flaws" presented by Olivier LÈpine, Quatrain Technologies
2009 has seen the launch of a brand new cars plate management system in France (web services based on WS-* exts & java). Among the 36 carmakers on the market, only Mazda decided to develop with PHP on its IBM i servers (AS/400). This session describes how PHP helped Mazda connect its IT to the Interior Ministry web services, what still lacks, what the versatility of PHP and ZF made possible.
"PHP and IBM i - Database Alternatives" presented by Erwin Earley, IBM
Interested in leveraging data in DB2 on IBM i with PHP web applications - then this session is for you! We will explore how PHP features such as the Zend toolkit and DB2 language extensions can be used to take your DB2 on i data to the web regardless of whether you prefer accessing the data through native I/O calls or through SQL compliant syntax. Additionally, this session will explore the IBMDB2i storage engine for those who want to deploy MySQL based open community applications on i and store the resulting data in DB2 tables.
"Scale Vertically with IBM Power Systems" presented by Sam Hennessy, Zend
The only way to scale your PHP application is horizontally. If you believe that then you could be missing a huge opportunity. This talk will layout why scaling vertically with the Power System platform can be a superior alternative to a traditional LAMP stack.
"PHP on the i5" presented by Mike Pavlak, Zend
A lot of IBM i customers are exploring PHP as a complement existing solutions. This tutorial will cover several topics that help explain the practical application of PHP in an IBM i strategy. We will explore the use of the i5 toolkit in depth with several examples. The implementation of the next generation of the Zend Stack will be reviewed along with the various installation options and a tour of the new features. Configuration and use of advanced debugging techniques using the new features on Zend Studio 7 and Zend Platform will be discussed. A review of the implementation of an open source project on IBM i using MySQL will also be included and much, much more!

Webinar: Moving Your RPG Report to the Web with PHP – Step by Step!
September 30, 2009, 9:00 am PDT
Many IBM i shops want to know where to start with PHP. It is a reasonable assumption that most RPG developers began their formative RPG development years cutting their teeth on green-bar reports. Report programs are a great place to start for several reasons including the fact that you can make a powerful impact with management and that reading report data tends to be a lot less dangerous than updating data files as a first step.
