PDO_IBM with IDS 11.5
JaxenT tried to use PDO_IBM with IDS 11.5 and Zend Core for IBM on Windows; pdo_ibm and ibm_db2 would not load and he could not find where to set INFORMIXSERVER in the DSN. He later solved the loading by installing Zend Core first, then the DB2 client (compact). He found the connection details in the DRDA section of chapter 3 of the Admin guide.

I trying to get PDO_IBM to work with IDS 11.5. I am having a couple of problems. I loaded Zend Core for IBM. On my Windows development box, I can not get pdo_ibm or ibm_db2 to load. The way that Zend Core loads on windows it starts php in fast cgi mode, so I don't see any errors in the error log. The second issue is, I don't see any documentation to show where you can set up the "INFORMIXSERVER" in the DSN for pdo_ibm. I really would like to get this working so I can use Zend Framework.
For anyone having the problem getting the Zend Core for IBM to load on Windows. I had to install Zend Core, then the DB2 client (compact installation) in that order. The other order didn't work, I have no clue as to why. It is a machine that I have been developing with the same XP installation for almost 4 years now, so it could be my box.
I found the documentation to make the connection. It is in Chapter 3 of the Admin guide in the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) section.
I found the information in the admin guide chapter three. Under Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) Communications.
