XML API for PHP
Using the XML API, data in Centric CRM can be retrieved using various clients. While a toolset has not been made specifically for PHP, the following has been used to interact with Centric CRM and PHP...
<?
// Site to post to
$server = "www.your_crm_server.com"
$path = "/centric/ProcessPacket.do"
// Begin the transfer
$socket = fsockopen($server, 80);
if (!$socket) {
// error: could not connect to server
// return
} else {
// Post the XML document
$request = "POST " . $path . " HTTP/1.0\r\n" .
"Host: " . $server . "\r\n" .
"Content-Type: text/xml\r\n" .
"Content-Length: " . strlen($xmlDocument) . "\r\n\r\n" .
$xmlDocument;
if (!fputs($socket, $request, strlen($request))) {
// error: could not write to server
// return
}
$response = '';
while ($data = fread($socket, 32768)) {
$response .= $data;
}
fclose($socket);
if ($response = '') {
// error: no response from server
// return
} else {
// review the response for status
}
}
?>
Some things to keep in mind...
- The XML needs to be well-formed
- Errors in the response provide some questions... see the FAQ
