Hello SAPers!

Welcome to the new forum focused on working with SAP from PHP. Before we continue give me a moment to introduce myself. My name is John Coggeshall, a Senior Technical Consultant at Zend Technologies, the company responsible for the Zend Engine powering PHP. I've been involved with PHP for about 8 years now and am the author of a number of books and articles on PHP technologies published worldwide. So I've been doing this for awhile, but I have to say you never really hear much about SAP and PHP working together. That was why I was happy to lend my time to a new PHP/SAP-focused blog and moderate this new SAP/PHP forum. If you're interested in my blog you can find the link to it here:

/people/john.coggeshall/blog/2005/05/04/zend-and-sap-team-up-to-promote-php

As your moderator I'll be floating about answering questions and encouraging discussion about any PHP related topic. Of course, feel free to bring SAP into the discussion as well! It's also been rumored that the SDN is an incredibly vibrant and involved community, so I'm really looking forward to getting this section off the ground.

So, with that said, welcome!

Cheers,

John

Hi,

I work ABAP for almost three years now, but before that I had a short work contact with PHP. I already had the chance to try (a little bit) the new SAPRFC module of PHP, and I liked it, but this is still a superficial impression.

PHP can only bring simplicity in a world that is known for exactly the opposite (but what human construction comparable in size with SAP's business suite isn't complex?), with all the advantages that come along: simpler development, simpler framework, better compatibility and portability over different OSs and yes! different browsers.

I an anxious to see the following.
