SAP RFC Libraries
Various PHP libraries are available that act as wrappers for SAP RFC functions, simplifying the integration process. These libraries encapsulate the complexities of RFC calls and provide convenient methods for interacting with SAP systems.
Functions used:
- Include library: require_once(‘saprfc.php’);
- Connect to SAP: $sap = new SAPConnection();
- Call function module: $sap->functionCall()
Example: This example shows direct SAF RFC Libraries use.
<?php
require_once('saprfc.php');
$sap = new SAPConnection();
$sap->connect(array('ASHOST'=>'sap_host',
'SYSNR'=>'00',
'CLIENT'=>'100',
'USER'=>'username',
'PASSWD'=>'password'));
$result = $sap->functionCall('RFC_READ_TABLE', array(...));
$sap->close();
?>
Integrating SAP with PHP
In today’s interconnected digital landscape, businesses rely on seamless integration between their various software systems to streamline operations and enhance productivity.
SAP (Systems, Applications, and Products) is a leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) software solution that serves as the backbone for many organizations. Meanwhile, PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) stands as one of the most popular scripting languages for web development.
These are the following methods to integrate:
