    Hi

    AIX is a licensed product. In order to get a license you need to buy it form IBM.

    Also you need one PowerPC Processor based machine in order to run AIX. I know at least one emulator for PowerPC on Windows http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/ but not sure that AIX runs on it.

    Hope this helps

    http://www.novell.com/products/server/eval.html

    Now, if you insist on needing AIX for your PHP testing, you might be able to buy
    a used POWER box that already has AIX loaded from eBay and go from there.
