I can only speak for my experience in PHP+SOAP in a recent project, but not on SAP. You'll surely get more information here as the experts will start speaking... If this is of any help to you, then PERFECT! If not, well, hope not to bother you with well-known stuff at least.
The project I'm involved with uses web services to fetch vehicle data from Chrome (http://www.chrome.com). We are using NuSoap, because we found no other options for PHP 4 (PHP 5 has a native Soap Extension, but I can only tell you that I've READ NuSoap has more features, I didn't even test it). You can download NuSoap here (pick the last version, the previous ones had a name clash problem with PHP 5). http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57663 As for how to use it... well... RTFM. I don't have a clue of how the SAP part works (I know "very generally" what SAP is... I never faced a PHP integration with it). But I can give you some sample code for the PHP part, obviously, the last word is that of SAP's technical specifications. /* First Create a WSDL Object and save it in the cache */ $wsdlURL = "https://where/is/my/service?WSDL";; $cacheDir = "/path/to/writable/dir"; $timeToLive = 86400; // Only one day, but wsdl's don't change that often, you can increase it much more $wsdlCache = new wsdlcache($cacheDir, $timeToLive); $wsdl = $wsdlCache->get($wsdlURL); if ($wsdl == null): $wsdl = new wsdl($wsdlURL); $wsdlCache->put($this->wsdl); endif; // After this line you have a wsdl object that was either created or retrieved from the cache /* Get the client and the proxy */ $client = new nusoap_client($wsdl, true); $proxy = $client->getProxy(); /* Now call SAP web service functions as documented in the tech spec */ $param1 = 'my param 1'; $param2 = array('whatever', 'is', 2, 'be'); // Call one of SAP functions $result = $proxy->myFunctionAsReadFromSAPTechSpec($param1, $param2); /* Now check for error codes in the result, store them in a db, whatever you need */ If ($result['WhoKnows'] == 'Checking is your job'): echo "Good Job!"; else: echo "RTFM AGAIN!!!"; endif; > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Cummings [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 4:11 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] PHP and SAP Business One DI Server > > Anyone have any experience with this?
