DRDA and Informix 11.50

Hi all, our php developers claim they need DRDA support to connect to IDS 11.50. Development platform is the Zend framework. The databases classes would use pdo_ibm instead of pdo_informix. - Is this information correct? Do we need pdo_ibm and DRDA support if we develop with the Zend framework? - if so, is it enough to install DB2 Client v9.1 or later on the client and modify onconfig, sqlhosts and /etc/services with a drda alias and for example drtlitcp on Solaris 10 hostsystem? - is Informix CSDK needed on the development system and Informix CSDK or I-Connect on the runtime system? I'm absolut newbie with DRDA so any help is appreciated. TIA, Reinhard.
