Hi Robert,
Can you let us know which DB2 product you are using. While installing ibm_db2 it searches for the include files in the directory /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5/include, in your case seems like the include directory is not found.Please let us know which product of DB2 are you using, so that we can guide in having ibm_db2 installed. If in case you are using the product DB2 connect then try the steps which Patrick has suggested, if not successful do let us know we will help you

Thank and Regards

I have installed DB2 v9.5 Express-C, instance owner is user db2 (not db2inst1).

The  directory /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5/include contains file:
asn.h

Hi Robert,

Seems like your DB2 is not installed properly, could you please re-install it and then check if you are able to build ibm_db2. The directory include should contain many more files like sqlcli1.h, sqlcli.h, sql.h etc. while installing ibm_db2 it finds for DB2 CLI include files in the include directory (to name a few, the files specified above), which it is not able to find.

Thank You
Praveen

Hi,

I find myself in the same position, but in my case, I dont have DB2 installed in my App-Server, wich is the one i will using to connect to the DB-Server.

So What I'm Asking is... Should I install DB on my App-Server just to let PHP connect to a db2 Database ???

Any help you can give me will be nice...

Best Regards,

Wilfredo Brice?o

Hi Wilfredo,

The answer to this is, No, you need not install the DB on your App-Server. But however you would require a DB2 client (at your app-server), to connect to the Database. There are different types of client namely 'Dataserver Client', 'Dataserver Run-time client' and 'Data Server Driver for ODBC, CLI, and .NET' . You can choose any depending on your requirement. More info on this can be found at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.qb.client.doc/doc/c0023452.html

Coming to the next part, i.e. getting the PHP DB2 driver binary. This differs based on the platform your app-server is on : - 
What platform is your App-Server on? --

	a) If your App-server is a Linux box, then it will require that you should build the PHP driver. For building the PHP driver the minimum thing that will be required is the DB2 client with the necessary include files. You may also build the PHP driver on your DB server, which will surely have all the minimum requirements, and use the binaries built there on your client side (provided the client and the server platforms are the same).

	b) If your App-server is a windows box then you need not build the PHP driver, the binaries for windows are available from the Pecl-for-windows site http://pecl4win.php.net/list.php  .

I have IBM V8.1 on linux and performed the following on the database server and recieved an error. Please advise

[root@palodbt db2]# pecl install ibm_db2

Starting to download ibm_db2-1.7.0.tgz (131,111 bytes)

Hi,

Seems like your phpize is not configured properly. Please check if you have the appropriate devel version of the php package. More details on phpize http://php.mirrors.ilisys.com.au/manual/en/install.pecl.phpize.php 
Also take a look at this link http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2004-12/7731.html , even here he was getting the same kind of error and had it solved by installing the appropriate php devel. Let me know if this solves the problem.

Thanks and Regards

If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Open". Thank you.

I got the same error as Mr. Prokopczuk, albeit working with version DB2 v10.5 AESE.  For me, I'm using the client files in a server installation to access another database server, either way with a basic server installation or 'typical' you will not get the Base Application Development tools installed and this is needed for the client libraries to be present (/include).  Re-run db2setup and 'work with existing installation' and chose custom installation then select the Base Application Development tools.
