How to get New Lead ID using custom web form

[hair]

hi there,
Our company has a custom online form for any potential client to make a request. I need to record these collected info into SugarCRM. I have noticed that SugarCRM has its own way to generate a unique ID. My questions is, if I need to write a script that can insert into SugarCRM leads table, how may I get this Lead ID created by SugarCRM. By the way, I created two custom field in the leads module, company and url, I noticed that they are stored in a separated table named 'leads_cstm', which means I need manually grab the new Leads ID, and then insert associated custom field for this newly inserted leads record.

Thank you for your time and advice in advance.

Check out the leadCapture.php file in the root directory of Sugar. You can have your custom form post to it to add leads to Sugar automatically. See http://www.sugarcrm.com/wiki/index.p...r_your_website for more info. You could also have your form post to a php that can post to multiple pages using Curl so that it posts to Sugar and to where ever else you need to post it to.
