Are there specific configurations in the PHP.INI file that need to be set for successful connection to a DB2 database?
To successfully connect to a DB2 database in PHP, you need to ensure that the appropriate DB2 extension is enabled in your PHP configuration file (php.ini). You also need to specify the correct DB2 database credentials such as the hostname, username, password, and database name in your PHP code.
// Configure DB2 database connection
$database = "SAMPLE";
$user = "username";
$password = "password";
$hostname = "localhost";
$port = "50000";
// Connect to DB2 database
$conn = db2_connect($database, $user, $password, [
'HOSTNAME' => $hostname,
'PORT' => $port,
]);
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . db2_conn_error());
}
