how to connect sharepoint with php

If I read your question right, you want to interact with your SharePoint site using PHP. You can do most interaction by using SharePoint's web services. For instance, you can read all list items using the lists web service (http:///_vti_bin/lists.asmx). You can upload files to a SharePoint document library. I searched furiously for an example of what I did to accomplish that, but I have lost it. I remember using Curl to do the uploads.

There are a number of websites that discuss using PHP to access SharePoint data. Here are a couple that I found with a simple google search:

As well as a discussion about a tool called Camelot PHP here

Try this API

In SharePoint

Download the WSDL. Usually at this location: <sharepoint.url>/subsite/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx?WSDL

Download the API

Make sure to save both SoapClientAuth.php and SharePointAPI.php

In PHP

// 0: include api in your php script.
require_once('SharePointAPI.php');

// 1: connect to SharePoint
$sp = new SharePointAPI('<username>', '<password>', '<path_to_WSDL>');

// 2: read a list
$listContents = $sp->read('<list_name>'); 

// 3: now you have a 2-D array to work with in PHP
foreach($listContents as $item)
{
    var_dump($item);
}

With this API, you can also query, update, create, delete lists, query list metadata
