PHP sur IBM i : des exemples concrets !

Découvrez la valeur apportée par PHP aux systèmes i

Expert du monde IBM i depuis des années et utilisateur averti de PHP, Dominique Gayte, gérant de la société NoToS, vous présentera des exemples concrets sur la valorisation des spools, l’intégration de la bureautique, la modernisation des applications traditionnelles, l’ouverture vers les standards du marché…

L’intégration de PHP dans l’AS/400 est complète. PHP peut accéder directement à la base de données, lancer des programmes et recevoir les paramètres retournés, exécuter des commandes, extraire des informations (commandes RTVxxx) et agir nativement sur les objets (Data Area, Data Queue, User Space…). PHP peut donc s’interfacer totalement avec votre existant (base de données et applications).

Il préserve vos investissements et vous permet de disposer à la fois de la fiabilité légendaire des systèmes i, et d’une interface graphique éprouvée au travers des navigateurs. Une énorme bibliothèque de scripts est disponible vous permettant d’accélérer les développements et de disposer de fonctionnalités variées.

Zend Server, l'environnement PHP pour les systèmes i, est un produit qui permet de :
  • Moderniser des applications existantes (Web 2.0)
  • Développer de nouvelles applications s’appuyant sur les ressources AS/400
  • Migrer des applications PHP existantes et prévues pour d’autres environnements
  • Prendre des décisions stratégiques de modernisation sur le long terme grâce à une solution pérenne

PHP and AJAX on IBM i, a Great Pairing!

PHP is a great development tool on its own but by incorporating AJAX you can make your applications faster, easier to maintain and even more professional looking.

PHP and AJAX together offer simple ways to make your PHP scripts simpler and even more re-usable. AJAX is not a language. There is no software that you need to install to start using it. AJAX is a acronym that refers to the use of technologies inherent in all browsers. So if you are looking to deliver the best possible web applications to your clients then AJAX is the next tool you need to add to your toolbox.

Moving Your RPG Report to the web with PHP – Step by Step!

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.

This presentation takes the RPG programmer through the steps necessary to move that RPG green-bar report to a webpage using PHP. Key features of this process will make liberal use of all the PHP tooling provided by Zend as well as a sample report and PHP script that you can download and install in your own environment. A sales history report from a fictitious company will illustrate key web development features like real time access to data, PHP toolkit examples for RPG program calls, HTML integration and some graphics to increase the visual impact of the data.

All sample code used in the demonstration will be available to the attendee after the presentation to download and run on their local IBM i and can be customized for individual use.

Modernization -- Zend's PHP Methodology for i5/OS

More and more organizations are focusing on how to leverage their i5/OS investment in order to better connect with the employees, customers, and partners. Creating web-based applications utilizing both DB2/400 data and green screen applications is one of the quickest means to accomplish this.

Zend and IBM have collaborated to create a solution suite enabling customers to rapidly produce large, complex web-based applications. Not only will companies be able to leverage their business logic and infrastructure on which these applications exist but also being able to easily provide their existing resources with a skill set in-demand in the marketplace.

This webinar articulates a methodology to develop and deploy standards-based PHP applications, and Zend’s solutions to deliver on SLAs for business critical applications. When organizations take on a new technology like PHP, then move down the operational maturity curve, and the goal of these best practices is to re-achieve the same level of maturity within 3-6 months while developing, debugging, deploying and managing these web-enabled applications.
