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

Hi Tyler,

with B1 you could try to access the MS SQL Database directly via ODBC from PHP.

hi Gregor,

concerning your advice, IMHO it's no good practice to access one application's data via direct database access from within another environment(except maybe in exceptional circumstances).

I do not know B1 at all, but I'd suggest to search for some kind of API or interfaces and accessing B1 from via them maybe using the php 'native interface' extension php_win32 if nothing else helps.

Just my 2 cents.
