Generate EDIFACT in zend framework php

Question

Hello I am new to ZEND framework . I have xml file of an order and I am trying to prepare EDIFACT file of same using zend but I am not getting any idea how to achieve this? I have read the documentation of EDIFACT and also got code from Google Codes to generate EDI but it is incomplete. There is no method to generate EDIFACT within this package so it is not helping.

So is there any library to generate EDIFACT file in zend or php ?

Thank you.

Answer 1

This git may be what you want :

PHP edifact

Tools to process EDI messages in UN/EDIFACT format

Supported syntax is version 3.

It's provided in a Composer package:

composer require sabas/edifact

The mapping xml files are provided in a separate package:

composer require php-edifact/edifact-mapping

It make,read,compress .edi for edifact with PHP

Answer 2

I don't think you will find a PHP library for this. You are not just converting it to 'EDIFACT' it will be a Trading Partner implementation of a EDIFACT message within an EDIFACT Directory of which there are many. This makes the chances of finding a suitable PHP library remote.

Set up a BOTS server ( http://bots.sourceforge.net/en/index.shtml ) and create an XML to EDIFACT map. Don't reinvent the wheel in PHP etc. It will take too long and it will scale in the future. Creating your own EDI library in a PHP framework is putting a huge burden on you.
