    1. COBy the way, when we installed the Zend Server stuff there was a web-based 5250 emulator - essentially a green screen running inside the browser. I seem to remember thinking it was quite slow but that was many years ago, I would expect them to have made things better by now. It's worth checking out, especially if it will keep you from having to learn the 5250 protocol and coding a bunch of stuff from scratch. I'm also unsure of any costs associated with that - we only fired up the one session a couple of times for the "Oh, isn't that cool!" factor.

    2. CO@user7424 The PHP Toolkit will NOT do screen scraping, it simply allows you to write PHP applications in the place of RPG (or COBOL or whatever) programs. The client I spoke of had thousands of programs - it sounds like they were a bigger shop than you, perhaps it was easier for them to simply write new PHP programs rather than do screen scraping. If you truly have to do screen scraping and it's just you working on this project I think your best bet is going to be to buy a prepackaged solution. If that's not an option, I'd go with Buck's suggestion.

    3. CO@WarrenT - If I remember correctly you can't call programs with display files. When they decided to start building PHP apps on their intranet (and later their website) they understood they would have to make changes to some existing RPG programs (or write new ones) but they decided that was a better solution for them. In their case I definitely agreed.
