This has become a frustrating thing for me and I'm reaching out to you guys after two days of unsuccessful attempts. I need to make odbc connection to DB2 through php, but here's my issue: I have installed unixODBC and php-odbc. Where can I find iSeriesAccess-6.1.0-1.2.i386.rpm I have searched everywhere on IBM website without success.

This optional package, IBM i Access Client Solutions - Linux Application Package, is only available for download on the Entitled Software Support (ESS) website under 5761-SS1 or 5770-SS1.

IBM i Access is not free software. There's an IBM Technote explaining how to obtain the software. In short, you need to log in to the IBM ESS (Entitled Software Support) site at the following URL: http://www-304.ibm.com/servers/eserver/ess/index.wss
My company uses IBM i Access, however, the files had to be downloaded via the company that set up our server. They had access in ESS to download the drivers, whereas the account that we had in-house didn't. I guess that means the license is theirs and not ours.
