Installation procedure on Windows

In the Windows environment, there are three way to install DB2 drivers.

First way: You can configure the environment using the PHP drivers shipped with DB2 products. The required steps are as follows:

1.Add the drivers to the PHP extension directory.

If you have IBM DB2 version 9.5 Linux, UNIX, and Windows, IBM Data Server Client, or IBM Data Server Runtime Client installed, you can find the driver files under <Path to sqllib>/sqllib/phpxx (where xx is 32 or 64). The driver files have the extension dll.

Copy and paste these files to the <PHP installation Path>/ext directory.

2.Open the php.ini file located in the PHP install path. Add the following lines at the end of the file:

extension=php_ibm_db2.dll extension=php_pdo_ibm.dll

3.PHP drivers should be installed now. Confirm the PHP driver installation by issuing the following command:

php -m
