There are a few options depending on how much you want to spend.

ODBC - This is likely going to be your least expensive option. You can get the drivers from the IBM i Access product mentioned by jamesallman. The IBM customer likely already has IBM i Access Client Solutions, and would already be licensed to use the driver. If you don't have the Linux drivers, here is a starting point.

IBM_DB2 / PDO_DB2 - both of these need a DB2 client. The client required by IBM i is provided with the DB2 Connect product. If you don't already have a license for that, it is also available from IBM, but it is in the "If you have to ask, it's too expensive" category.

You will most likely want to use the IBM i Access ODBC driver.
