SAP & PHP - Newbie

[#1]

Hi,

I'm new to the whole world of SAP. PHP though I am not new too.

Here at work I guess we have SAP Business One and I am curious if it is possible to use PHP along side with it.

The Blogs I've read seem to use R/3 though I have no idea what that is, but I've been told we do no have it.

Since our company is new to SAP we're looking for ways to develop middleware things for them and since I like PHP I thought I would see if it was possible for our setup to use it.

If not, then I will go off in search of another way. My knowledge currently is only in Web development and VB.NET

Any advice/help etc is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Tyler -- I remember the day I learned that there was another operating system for the VAX computer other than Unix (4.1BSD) -- quite a shock to me, but the main OS for the VAX was VMS. I think you're in that situation here.

SAP started with software for medium to large enterprises. The last version of that software is called "R/3," and the current version is called "mySAP."

For the small to medium enterprises we offer SAP Business One, which is the product your company appears to be using. Marilyn's reply should direct you in the right direction, but keep in mind that most information you read about SAP will be about R/3 and mySAP, and that "SAP" is often used as a synonym for mySAP (or R/3). Most information that applies to mySAP and R/3 will <b>NOT</b> apply to Business One.

Thanks, and
