Thread: Salesforce PHP form Help

Sarma I was able to move just this one thread and create a new thread by being an admin on my own site, go figure, lol

Listen I will look into your question today or tomorrow, not sure I will get a chance though, I am getting ready to go on vacation.


Thanks
Mike

PHP Code:


include ('header.inc');
require_once ('./soapclient/SforcePartnerClient.php');
require_once ('./soapclient/SforceHeaderOptions.php');
require_once ('AccountsAction.php');

session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION['sessionId'])) {
    header('Location: login.php');
    exit;
}

$mySforceConnection;
$myUserInfo;
function findAccounts($Name) {
    $query = "SELECT Name FROM Account WHERE Name =" . '$name';
    //    $queryOptions = new QueryOptions(500);
    //    $response = $connection->query(($query), $queryOptions);
    //    return $response->records;
}

function displayTable() {
    global $mySforceConnection;
    $accts = findAccounts($Name);
    if ($accts) {
        print ('There are currently ' . count($accts) . ' accounts:
');
        print '';
    }
}


if (isset ($_POST['FindClick'])) {
    if (!$_POST['findName'])
        {
            global$errors;
            $errors = ('Please fill name to search.');
        }
        else
        {
            $_POST['findName'] = trim($_POST['findName']);
            try
            {
                $result = findAccounts($_POST['findName']);
        }
            catch (exception $e)
            {
                print r ($errors);
            }
        } 
}
//findAccounts($Name);
displayTable();


global $errors;
if (isset($errors)) {
    echo '$errors
';
}

Try this code, it worked for me: You will need your saleforce login, password and the account name:

PHP Code:

<?php

ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);

require_once ('./includes/soapclient/SforcePartnerClient.php');
require_once ('./includes/soapclient/SforceHeaderOptions.php');

if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    $user = trim($_POST['user']);
    $pass = trim($_POST['pass']);
    $account_name = htmlspecialchars(trim($_POST['a_name']));





    //Go get the accounts by $account_name
    try
    {
            //salesforce  wsdl
          $wsdl = './includes/soapclient/partner.wsdl.xml';

          //connect to salesforce
          $client = new SforcePartnerClient();
          $client->createConnection($wsdl);
          $loginResult = $client->login($user, $pass);

          $accounts = get_accounts($client, $account_name);

          if ($accounts)
          {
            echo "<table>\n";

              echo "<tr>\n";
              foreach ($accounts as $r)
              {
                    $r = new SObject($r);
                    echo "<td>Account Id&nbsp;<strong>".$r->Id. "</strong></td>&nbsp;&nbsp;
                          <td>Account Name&nbsp;<strong>" .$r->fields->Name."</strong></td>\n";
              }
              echo "</tr>\n";
            echo "</table>\n";
          }
          else
          {
            echo "No Account Found By That Name";
          }
          exit;



    }
    catch (exception $e)
    {
        // This is reached if there is a major problem in the data or with
        // the salesforce.com connection. Normal data errors are caught by
        // salesforce.com
        echo '<pre>' . print_r($e, true) . '</pre>';
        return false;
        exit;
    }

}

/* functions */

function get_accounts($connection, $name)
{
  $query = "SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE Name =  '$name'";

  $queryOptions = new QueryOptions(500);
  $response = $connection->query(($query), $queryOptions);
  $accounts = $response->records;

  return $accounts;
}

@mike
what a suprise
i think you on vacation, nice trip ??

thanks for that your program is compile succesfully

@mike

for add, update and delete data to database, can we use some syntax like this :

INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2,...) VALUES (value1, value2,....)

UPDATE tableName SET column_name = new_value WHERE columns1 = [FONT=verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif]"1"[/FONT]

DELETE FROM tableName WHERE column1 = '1'

this syntax ussually i use for insert, update and delete with visual basic 6, but it can use for php, you can see it at
PHP MySQL Delete From

in php, can i call a mesagge box ?
like in vb6, coz i want to confirm first before delete data

thanks,
randy

No Sarma you cannot update items in your Salesforce instance performing SQL statements such as this. The best advice that I could give you is to create scripts that will download your data from Salesforce into local DB tables (I have done this for Oracle and MySQL), manipulate the data locally then use select statements to create insert, update, and upsert script back into your org's instance of salesforce. I have examples of how to create backup scripts on this site

Hope that helps

@mike
where can i found your example of how to create backup scripts ??
so that i can make a program without connection to the internet

No you will always have to have some sort of Internet connection when working with salesforce's API, that is a given

It depends on what type of database you are using, I have two tutorials, one uses Oracle and one uses MySQL >Salesforce – PHP To MySQL Database Replication Script


I think I remember reading somewhere that you are using MS Sql, if that is true, ADOdb works with that, you would just need to create your tables in your local MS SQL database or use MySQL (it's free)

I dont work with MS SQL at all and never have, but it cannot be too hard to setup a script to work

Hope that helps
