I want to give a few hints to make compile and test a little smoother ,
especially to compile on a linux box :

If you drive saprfc on a standalone linux webserver , that means without a
SAP installation ( either gui or Server) on it , one will need the following
prerequisites :

- Enter at least the services 
	sapdp00		3200/tcp
	sapgw00		3300/tcp
	sapgw00s		4800/tcp
	sapms<SID>		3600/tcp 
to the file /etc/services, with <SID> = SAP System ID to which you want to
connect. If you  use a systemnumber different from 00 replace the 00 above
with your systemnumber.

     Install SAP RFCSDK to a /usr/sap/rfcsdk directory (or
/usr/local/rfcsdk, /opt/rfcsdk). If you use other directory, you must configure 
php with option --with-saprfc=DIR instead of --with-saprfc. 

Probably one will create the SAP RFCSDK DIR manually , in this case one will
have to create the directories DIR/include and DIR/lib too. 
Copy the saprfc.h, sapitab.h, rfcsi.h files to the directory DIR/include ,
one can use the  files from the windows gui 
( path = <CD>/gui/Win32/sapgui/rfcsdk/include on linux too.
Get the librfc from SAP , it is found on the sapnet or on sapserv3 in the
kernel path for the linux_32 platform, unpack it and move to DIR/lib.

After installation : 

Copy the file sapmsg.ini to your webserver directory where your saprfc.php
resides.
This file is found on your client eg. under windows in the windows
directory.
If this file is not there you can use the saplogon.ini file with the name
sapmsg.ini.

Test : One MUST specify Applicationserver, systemnumber,client, user,
password, systemname, language and  Codepage .
