Using PHP to talk to AS/400

I'm a complete n00b to AS/400.

My company has an AS/400 database that I'm trying to figure out the best way to read data from for publication on the web. I can get the information out and put it in an Access Database, then import it into MySQL, but that's time consuming and full of steps.

Is there a way, or has anyone tried, connecting to the AS/400 with something similar to a mysql_connect, but for the AS/400. I don't really need to write to it (since that will be done at a worker's terminal. I just need to read the data like I would a MySQL db for publication on the web.

Thanks in advance!

I'd like to know too. I found out today that my new job will be about communicating between PHP/MySQL and AS/400.
