Zend Technologies delivers PHP to IBM System i
Zend Technologies announced this week the immediate availability of Zend Core for i5/OS and Zend Studio Professional for i5/OS, IBM's flagship operating system for System i hardware.
Based in Cupertino, Calif., Zend Technologies Ltd. develops Web application platform products and services for PHP applications.
The move was the result of increased demand from its System i customers for PHP support, IBM said. By having PHP available for i5/OS, System i customers will now have the ability to develop Web applications or create Web front ends for existing applications written in RPG, C, C++ or Java. Zend Core for i5/OS also includes a toolkit that enables PHP applications to access the DB2 database and other resources in i5/OS.
