PrestaShop: Update customer through web-service - php

Question

I want to update a customer in PrestaShop using a webservice. I search for the customer based on his email and company name and then update with new details. But when I use filters to get the customer details and then update i receive the following error and im not sure how to resolve this issue.
Error 90 - id is required when modifying a resource
Code
$email=$_POST['email'];
$oldEmail=$_POST['oldEmail'];
$company=$_POST['company'];
try
{
$webService = new PrestaShopWebservice(PS_SHOP_PATH, PS_WS_AUTH_KEY, DEBUG);
$opt = array(
'resource' => 'customers',
'display' => 'full',
'filter[email]'=>'e.siona#example.gr',//['.$oldEmail.']',
'filter[company]'=>'euro'//['.$company.']'
);
$xml = $webService->get($opt);
// Retrieve resource elements in a variable (table)
$resources = $xml->children()->children();
//$opt['id'] = 17;
//echo $resources->id;
}
catch (PrestaShopWebserviceException $e){
// Here we are dealing with errors
$trace = $e->getTrace();
if ($trace[0]['args'][0] == 404) echo 'Bad ID';
else if ($trace[0]['args'][0] == 401) echo 'Bad auth key';
else echo 'Other error';
}
$resources->email = 'e.siona43#example.gr';
// Resource definition
$opt = array('resource' => 'customers');
//XML file definition
$opt['putXml'] = $xml->asXML();
$opt['id'] = 'How can I put here the id retrieved from previous call?';
// Calling asXML() returns a string corresponding to the file
$xml = $webService->edit($opt);
// Second : We update the data and send it to the web service

There was an error in official github examples.
Try this corrected version of your snippet:
$email=$_POST['email'];
$oldEmail=$_POST['oldEmail'];
$company=$_POST['company'];
try
{
$webService = new PrestaShopWebservice(PS_SHOP_PATH, PS_WS_AUTH_KEY, DEBUG);
// Filters must be an array (I'll suggest this method)
$filter = array(
'email' => $oldEmail,
'company' => 'ACME'
);
// I guess it's useless to use company because the e-mail it's a KEY in the database, so the correspondence 'should' be univocal.
$opt = array(
'resource' => 'customers',
'display' => 'full',
'filter' => $filter
);
$xml = $webService->get($opt);
// Retrieve resource elements in a variable (table)
$resources = $xml->children()->children();
}
catch (PrestaShopWebserviceException $e){
// Here we are dealing with errors
$trace = $e->getTrace();
if ($trace[0]['args'][0] == 404) echo 'Bad ID';
else if ($trace[0]['args'][0] == 401) echo 'Bad auth key';
else echo 'Other error';
}
// Here we retrieve the ID
$customer_id = $resources->customer->id;
// Here we update the e-mail
$resources->customer->email = $email; // E.g. 'e.siona43#example.gr';
// And call the web service
try
{
$opt = array('resource' => 'customers');
$opt['putXml'] = $xml->children()->asXML(); // This is correct if you have one customer in the XML. The GitHub examples it's incomplete and you get the error 90.
$opt['id'] = $customer_id;
$xml = $webService->edit($opt);
// if WebService don't throw an exception the action worked well and we don't show the following message
echo "Successfully updated.";
}
catch (PrestaShopWebserviceException $ex)
{
// Here we are dealing with errors
$trace = $ex->getTrace();
if ($trace[0]['args'][0] == 404) echo 'Bad ID';
else if ($trace[0]['args'][0] == 401) echo 'Bad auth key';
else echo 'Other error<br />'.$ex->getMessage();
}
Hope this helps :)
