PHP on Windows -> AS400 is there an easy way?

Question

Background:

I am running PHP on a WAMP stack
I need to connect/execute queries against an AS400 (IBM iSeries)

My Question:

Is there an easy way to, with PHP, connect the same way you can connect with MySQL, i.e. connection string, database select, query and result with methods similar to mysql_query, mysql_fetch_assoc, etc.?

This was marked as a duplicate yesterday, I apologize, it is not. I have not found a way to do it with windows online. Thanks!

Thanks alex, however, I'm asking about windows - that thread is regarding Linux. — objector_the_inspector, Aug 10 '11 at 19:05

I am sure it was marked duplicate because the answer is the same. You can use ODBC to connect to the i.

unixODBC does not work for Windows. See PDO_ODBC support instead. – Travis Oct 11 '12 at 19:56
