Informix driver for Mac OS X?

Does anyone know if there is an Informix driver for Mac OS X (preferably Jaguar, but we can make do otherwise)? I've searched IBM's site and have scoured countless others, but to no avail. When I found http://www.openlinksw.com/ I was really hopeful, but they didn't have anything that helped either. A student here at the college is trying to write a web interface (using PHP or Perl) to our Informix database, but he's SOL without the Informix driver. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

OpenLink does provide ODBC drivers for OS X that would allow you to connect to an Informix database. These are Multi-Tier drivers, which means that you'd need to install on both the OS X machine and the Informix database machine. If this was the reason why you were unable to install on the Informix machine, you also have the option of installing on a gateway machine. This gateway machine would need Informix I-Connect client networking installed. Let me know if this isn't an option for you; there may be other potential solutions that we can provide.
