SAPRFC. So do we need to compile using Visual Studio or NOT ?

[Former Member]

Hi

The documentation for SAPRFC describe that compile is required. but the downloaded files include the following files:

PHP_SAP_RFC499.dll

PHP_SAP_RFC528.dll

PHP_SAP_RFC528_nts.dll

PHP_SAP_RFC530.dll

PHP_SAP_RFC530_nts.dll

I also read the forum and it looks like all that is required is to change the PHP.INI file and add the LIBRFC32 to system directory and all will work out of the box. So my question is do we need to compile or not ?

Since I am using PHP 5.3.0 I am assuming the file I need is PHP_SAP_RFC530.dll and there is no need to compile anything and all I need to do is to add this line to PHP.ini all will work out of the box

extension= PHP_SAP_RFC530.dll

Am I correct ?

Thank you

Hi Eyal,

I think you should not use SAPRFC anymore. Please use [sapnwrfc for PHP|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EmTech/sapnwrfcforPHP] or Web Services to connect to SAP.
