    /Coding/php: A Simple SugarCRM API Class

    This should give anyone needing to use the SugarCRM API a quickstart:

' has a GUID of ' . $this->user_id . "<p>"); } function getModules() { $response = $this->client->get_available_modules($this->session_id); foreach ($response->modules as $i => $value) { printf($response->modules[$i] . "<br>"); } } function getModuleFields($module) { $response = $this->client->get_module_fields($this->session_id, $module); printf("<p>Module " . $response->module_name .' has the following fields:' . "<p>"); printf("<table><tr>" . "<td><u>Name</td><td><u>Type</td><td><u>Label</td>" . "<td><u>Required</td><td><u>Options</td>" . "</tr>"); foreach ($response->module_fields as $i => $value) { printf('<tr><td>' . $response->module_fields[$i]->name . '</td>' . '<td>' . $response->module_fields[$i]->type . '</td>' . '<td>' . $response->module_fields[$i]->label . '</td>' . '<td>' . $response->module_fields[$i]->required . '</td>' . '<td>' . $response->module_fields[$i]->options . '</td></tr>'); } printf('</table>'); } function setContactField($fieldname, $fieldvalue) { $this->contact[] = array("name" => $fieldname,"value" => $fieldvalue); } function storeContact() { // into sugar's Contacts database $response = $this->client->set_entry($this->session_id, 'Contacts', $this->contact); var_dump($response); } } ?>

    And the following is a simple example of how to use the above class to create a simple contact record with a name and an e-mail address, and store it in Sugar's Contacts database.

    <?php include("class_sugarapi.php"); $sugar = new sugarapi(); $sugar->login(); // populate the contact array $sugar->setContactField('last_name', 'Bloke2'); $sugar->setContactField('email1', 'xyz@wxy.net'); // var_dump($sugar->contact); $sugar->storeContact(); // to Contacts database ?>

    To find out all the possible fields in the Contacts database, use this script:

    <?php include("class_sugarapi.php"); $sugar = new sugarapi(); $sugar->login(); // look what modules sugar exposes $sugar->getModules(); // look in more detail at the fields in a module $sugar->getModuleFields('Accounts'); ?>

    Many thanks to this post[1] for getting me on my way.
