SOAP help

Sugar 5.2.0k
I am wanting to get a certain ID to display in SOAP, and show information for just that ID. Would also like to be able to update that ID's information through SOAP. any help/tutorials? I'm working with the SoapTest.php files
thanks

Take a look at the Dev Guide and Developers site (http://developers.sugarcrm.com)

In a nutshell, you can retrieve data using the method get_entry_list()

That'll give you the ID values of the records that meet your criteria. To update the record, use the set_entry() method, passing the specific ID of the record to be updated as one of the values.

I'm not having any luck. Basically I want to show a Customer Number in a custom module called Customers.

When I load the page it's blank.
I have it in my examples directory

 <?php
        require_once("../include/nusoap/nusoap.php");
        class SugarSoap{
                var $proxy;
                var $sess;
                function SugarSoap($soap_url,$login=true){
                        $soapclient = new soapclient($soap_url,true);
                        $this->proxy = $soapclient->getProxy();
                        if($login) $this->login();
                }
        }
function login(){
    $params = array(
        'user_name' => 'admin',
        'password'  => md5('MYpass'),
        'version'   => '.01'
    );
    $result = $this->proxy->login($params,'MyApp');
    $this->sess= $result['error']['number']==0 ? $result['id'] : null;
    return $this->sess;
} 
function get LIN_Customer($query='',$maxnum=0,$orderby=' LIN_Customer.lname asc'){
    $result = $this->proxy->get_entry_list(
        $this->sess,
        'Customers',
        $query,
        $orderby,
        0,
        array(
            'cust_no',
            'fname',
            'lname',
            'co_name',
        ),
        $maxnum,
        false
    );
    return $result;
} 
?>  

I think the error is in this line,

 function get LIN_Customer($query='',$maxnum=0,$orderby=' LIN_Customer.lname asc'){ 
  

It is actually suppose to be, getLIN_Customer($.... right? but still don't get results for that.

At these sticking points I usually start entering a bunch of debug code such as echo "here 1"; etc to find out where it's failing. Outputting variable values helps a ton as well.

[Dustin09]

lol, That's how I knew which line was screwing up.

[eggsurplus]

Looks like the function name has a space in it: get LIN_Customer. Try renaming to something else like get_LIN_Customer. Then you'll need to call that function at some point to kick it off.

This displays, HELLO HELLO 2 HELLO3. So it seems to be okay. Is there not an easier way to work with SOAP/PHP ? I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

 <?php
echo "HELLO";
        require_once("../include/nusoap/nusoap.php");
        class SugarSoap{
                var $proxy;
                var $sess;
                function SugarSoap($soap_url,$login=true){
                        $soapclient = new soapclient($soap_url,true);
                        $this->proxy = $soapclient->getProxy();
                        if($login) $this->login();
                }
        }
function login(){
    $params = array(
        'user_name' => 'admin',
        'password'  => md5('MYpass'),
        'version'   => '.01'
    );
    $result = $this->proxy->login($params,'MyApp');
    $this->sess= $result['error']['number']==0 ? $result['id'] : null;
    return $this->sess;
} 
echo " HELLO 2";
function getLIN_Customer($query='',$maxnum=0,$orderby=' LIN_Customer.lname asc'){
    $result = $this->proxy->get_entry_list(
        $this->sess,
        'Customers',
        $query,
        $orderby,
        0,
        array(
            'cust_no',
            'fname',
            'lname',
            'co_name',
        ),
        $maxnum,
        false
    );
    return $result;
} 
    echo " HELLO3";
?>

Looks fine. You need to actually call the function though at some point. Such as after your hello3 do this:
getLIN_Customer();

This will get you inside your function. You'll need to do more work to get it to do what you want though.

[Dustin09]

Well thank you very much. There is nothing put together by anyone to do this easier by chance?
