        'host'           => '',
        'database'       => '',
        'username'       => '',
        'password'       => '',
        'charset'        => 'utf8',
        'ccsid'          => 1208,
        'prefix'         => '',
        'schema'         => '',
        'i5_libl'        => '',
        'i5_lib'         => '',

        'i5_time_sep'    => 0,
        'options'  => [
            PDO::ATTR_CASE => PDO::CASE_LOWER,
            PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => false,
            PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => false
            ]
    ],

    'ibm' => [
        'driver'         => 'ibm',
        'host'           => '',
        'database'       => '',
        'username'       => '',
        'password'       => '',
        'charset'        => 'utf8',
        'ccsid'          => 1208,
        'prefix'         => '',
        'schema'         => '',
        'i5_libl'        => '',

        'i5_date_fmt'    => 5,
        'i5_date_sep'    => 0,
        'i5_decimal_sep' => 0,
        'i5_time_fmt'    => 0,
        'i5_time_sep'    => 0,
        'options'  => [
            PDO::ATTR_CASE => PDO::CASE_LOWER,
            PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => false,
            PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => false
        ]
    ],

driver setting is either 'odbc' for ODBC connection or 'ibm' for pdo_ibm connection Then if driver is 'odbc', database must be set to ODBC connection name. if driver is 'ibm', database must be set to IBMi database name (WRKRDBDIRE).

Option 2: Configure DB2 using package config file

Run on the command line from the root of your project:

$ php artisan config:publish michaelb/laravel-db2

Set your laravel-db2 credentials in app/config/packages/michaelb/laravel-db2/config.php the same way as above

Usage

Consult the Laravel framework documentation.
