Hi Manesh,

The answer to that question depends a lot on what operating systems you are connecting. Are you running PHP on linux or windows?

There is several experts in the forums here and a lot of content to guide you.

You could start with these links

Wiki pages

https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EmTech/Scripting+Languages

Connector Announcement

Download of the software

Forum Thread covering a lot of installation issues

Getting the RFCSDK if required

If you have any other questions after having read all this ask away.

Why are you using PHP 5.0? I would at least upgrade to 5.2.12 or 13 if not 5.3.2

The 5.3 branch is a lot faster and has some new features.

Cheers,

Nigel

Hello Nigel,

thank you for the previous Information.

> If you have any other questions after having read all this ask away.

- I have read your message regarding library sources, and I still have a question regarding saprfc on Linux 32bit x86.

I am trying to compile saprfc under Ubuntu 8.04 32bit and I cannot find the appropriate NON-UNICODE sap-rfc source.

Note 1025361 "Support and Availability of the SAP NetWeaver RFC Library" clearly states that

"For the release 7.11 of the NW RFC SDK the following platforms and OS versions are currently supported:

...

Linux x86 32bit (Versions: SuSE SLES9, SuSE SLES10, RedHat EL4, RedHat EL5)"

- however I could not find "NW RFC SDK for Linux x86 32bit" at https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/swdc (there is only a 64bit version)

- Please advise, which version of saprfc should I use for Ubuntu 8.04 32bit x86 ?

Thank you in advance!
