p. As part of an ongoing effort to give PHP developers new tools and new markets to explore, Zend and SAP are reviewing upgrading the Netweaver PHP connector. In order to determine what functionality is important we’ve created this “cool survey”:http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB227KLF66C5W. If you are a SAP user and interested in PHP integration make your voice heard. The same applies for PHP developers who are facing new challenges connecting PHP applications to SAP.

Thanks for blogging this Cal. As a person who programs in ABAP and PHP, I am very keen to see the Netweaver PHP connector upgraded.
I blogged about this dilemma nearly a year ago on the SAP Developer Community website (http://www.sdn.sap.com) in a short post that can be found here – https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/6571
I am very excited to see that Zend are keen to forge more integration between PHP and SAP.
I believe if there was a connector that had the backing of SAP and Zend it would benefit both communities.
Kind regards,
Nigel James

My name is Alvaro Tejada Galindo, from Lima, Peru. I’m a Senior ABAP Consultant and a SAP Blogger. I have worked a lot with the PHP/SAP Connector so for me it’s great that Zend is interested in upgrading this awesome piece of work.
Greetings,
Blag.

Hi,
I assume this is SAPRFC. I would like 64bit and unicode support.
I also would like better support for data types. At least I have problems with negative numerics.
At my company we have built a data warehouse with PHP and MySQL. And we use SAPRFC for SAP integration. Every night we are downloading zillions of megabyte SAP data. Production planning in three factories and marketing are very dependent of PHP, SAPRFC and MySQL. The data warehouse application responds to about 15000 queries per day.

So, it has been 9 months since the survey started. Are there any decisions & improvements about this exciting team-up? As a PHP developer who works with SAP, I am looking forward to see an updated SapRFC connector with Unicode support. Come on, Zend, give us good news!

One of the key guys in the SAP community has now rewritten the PHP connector to work with the lastest SAP Systems.
You can find more details here.

This is an early version and he would appreciate any feedback that you might have.
