SAPRFC DLL and PHP 5.5

3.4k views Asked by At

I wanted to try using SAPRFC DLL along with PHP to retrieve data from SAP server at our company, but after downloading the latest version (1.4.1) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/saprfc/files/

Then, I added the DLL files (php_saprfc_528.dll and php_saprfc_530.dll) to PHP extensions folder, then I updated php.ini file. When I start Apache server, the following error message shows to me

PHP Startup: saprfc: Unable to initialize module

Module compiled with module API=20060613

PHP compiled with module API=20121212

These options need to match

Googling this issue, I found that that saprfc was compiled with another version of PHP not same as the one I'm using. I'm running PHP 5.5.9, so I started looking with saprfc dll file compatible with PHP 5.5, but I couldn't find.

Can anybody please provide the download for the php_saprfc.dll which will work with PHP 5.5, or what are the steps for compiling php_saprfc.dll that will make it compatible with PHP 5.5?

Thanks

Have you installed the RFC DLL on the system in question? At runtime the SAPRFC PHP module needs it - from the installation instructions (As you mentioned DLL I'm assuming you're using Windows):

For installation (from binary package):

You can obtain librfc32.dll from a system that has SAPGUI installed (check the Windows directory) or by installing the classic RFC SDK. For more information on that SDK, see note 27517 (SAP SMP login required).

Once you've done that and if the PHP module still doesn't work, then you can consider recompiling. See the instructions in that same installation guide for instructions. They do mention Visual C 6.0 though, which is rather old...
