I am new to using WSDL's. I have used REST before but not this. I am trying to run the sample code file that is included on the UPS developer site. Page 23 of this guide is the API I am using. The file you can download includes like ten guides which I have perused, but I just initally want to figure out how to fill out the top configuration part below (I am using php example code file SoapRateClient.php). What do I put for WSDL? What do I put for end point url? The file you download on their site has several wsdl files and I'm not sure which one I am supposed to choose. Guidance appreciated.
<?php
//Configuration
$access = "secret";//I have this no problem
$userid = "";//I have this as well
$passwd = "";//I have this
$wsdl = " Add Wsdl File Here ";//What the heck do I put here!?
$operation = "ProcessRate";
$endpointurl = ' Add URL Here';//Also what do I put here?
$outputFileName = "XOLTResult.xml";
For anyone else out there confused on how to get started with the UPS Rate API, I implemented Jonathan Kelly's UPS Rate API class that he created. You just fill in your account number, key, username, password, and play with the other variables. I was able to return a dollar amount for ground shipping in five minutes. Thank gosh I didn't have to mess with SOAP and web services.
Here is details of top parameters for "SoapRateClient.php"
$access = "xxxx";
It is provided by the UPS.for this you have to create your account at UPS.This account is different from creating online account at the website.
https://www.ups.com/upsdeveloperkit
click on "Step 5: Request an access key."
2 $userid = "xxx";
userid of account.
3 $passwd = "xxx";
password of account
4 $wsdl = "wsdl/RateWS.wsdl";
this is the wsdl file you need to include for "SoapRateClient.php". Here change the path accordingly.
5 $operation = "ProcessRate";
value of operation to perform.
6
$endpointurl = 'https://wwwcie.ups.com/webservices/Rate';
I wish you the best of luck. When I started down this path I ended up grabbing code from several commerce products written in PHP to see how they did it as I could not get the UPS examples to work. Turns out most of them are just doing a POST and manually assembling the XML instead of using SOAP, since it's so painful.
But, regardless, what it wants in $wsdl is the wsdl file location.
End point url is the UPS url for the service you wish to use, for example, for TimeInTransit:
For prod: https://wwwcie.ups.com/ups.app/xml/TimeInTransit
For test: https://onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/TimeInTransit
EDIT: It appears that the urls above are incorrect. Reference: https://developerkitcommunity.ups.com/index.php/Special:AWCforum/st/id267
Once your testing is completed please direct your Shipping Package XML to the Production
URL:
https://onlinetools.ups.com/webservices/Ship
They should read:
For test: https://wwwcie.ups.com/ups.app/xml/TimeInTransit
For prod: https://onlinetools.ups.com/ups.app/xml/TimeInTransit

As I couldn't find anything in the documentation I might have a general understanding issue. But what I want to achieve is getting the ID of the current Contact browsing the Site. To get user details I always have to know the ID, like documented here: https://developer.mautic.org/#contacts
$api = new MauticApi();
$contactApi = $api->newApi("contacts", $auth, $settings['baseUrl']);
$contact = $contactApi->get(3);
Is there a way to the ID of the current Contact? I want to play highly customized content on the website and an entry point to get user details.
It's a REST API, so you should get a response in any case. What's the content of the response (eg. what contains $contact)? What's the HTTP code of the response? Error messages?
However... I'm not familiar with this particular API, but the principles are always the same
https://developer.mautic.org/?php#list-contacts
Without any query parameters it should give the full list of contacts. Each of the contact records should come with an ID for the details:
https://developer.mautic.org/?php#get-contact
As said, I'm not familiar with the API, so it could be that you get a contact list only from a higher entity, like a Company or so.
I can recommend Postman (https://www.postman.com/), a neat tool to make REST API requests while having full control over all the details.
Assuming that you're trying to get the details of the current logged in user.
You can use themautic.helper.user helper to do that as shown below:
<?php
$user = $this->get('mautic.helper.user')->getUser();
$firstName = $user->getFirstname();
$lastName = $user->getLastname();
$email = $user->getEmail();
$profile = $user->getProfile();
$role = $user->getRole()->getName();
if ($role->isAdmin()) {
// do something
}
Ref: https://developer.mautic.org/#services44
In order to do what you want here I do not think you actually need the API to get the user id. Mautic has dynamic content and as long as the user has a cookie dropped on his browser you can use Dynamic Content to say "Hi {contactfield=firstname}, welcome back.
You can actually call any custom field into the dynamic content slot.
Check out dynamic content which is found under the Components section in the left menu
I have an observer event that is capturing customer details anytime they are updated. At this point it posts that information to a var log.
I would like to get it to post to a SOAP API url.
SOAP API URL
at this point I am trying to be pointed in the right direction of how to do this, I believe I need to write the information into an XML that matches the API.
I only have 6 fields that need to be filled so I don't think it will be to hard.
$fon = $billingaddress->getTelephone();
$street1 = $billingaddress->getStreet(1);
$street2 = $billingaddress->getStreet(2);
$city = $billingaddress->getCity();
$region = $billingaddress->getRegion();
$postcode = $billingaddress->getPostcode();
The phone number doubles as the customer #
Can somebody help me with the code to write the XML?
This chunk will go inside your body tag, as shown in the examples HERE. For the XML, it is pretty straightforward, and you can do it as one $request variable instead of assigning several:
<?php
$request = '<UpdateCustomer xmlns="http://www.dpro.com/DPAPIServices">'.
'<aRequest>'.
// '<Username>'..'</Username>'.
// '<Password>'..'</Password>'.
'<CustomerNumber>'.$billingaddress->getTelephone();.'</CustomerNumber>'.
'<CustomerName>'.$billingAddress->getFirstname().' '.$billingAddress->getLastname().'</CustomerName>'.
'<CustomerAddress1>'.$billingaddress->getStreet(1).'</CustomerAddress1>'.
'<CustomerAddress2>'.$billingaddress->getStreet(2).'</CustomerAddress2>'.
'<CustomerCity>'.$billingaddress->getCity().'</CustomerCity>'.
'<CustomerState>'.$billingaddress->getRegion().'</CustomerState>'.
'<CustomerZip>'.$billingaddress->getPostcode().'</CustomerZip>'.
'</aRequest>'.
'</UpdateCustomer>';
?>
NOTE:
I commented out the Username and Password because they weren't included in your example, and I am unsure whether they are your API user's credentials or related to the Customer.
You shouldn't need to write any XML when working with a SOAP API that already exists. Use the built-in SoapClient.
Have a look at the answers to this question if you need help with that: How to make a PHP SOAP call using the SoapClient class
Apologies, since I may not know the terminologies for the salesforce API. I just started programming a connector to interact with salesforce and I am stuck.
I have a requirement, where each time a new entry is added to the Leads section, I will have to retrieve a couple of fields (Firstname and Product Code) and pass it to a different software that makes use of PHP.
<?php
require "conf/config_cleverbridge_connector.inc.php";
require "include/lc_connector.inc.php";
// Start of Main program
// Read basic parameters
if ($LC_Username === "")
{
$LC_Username = readParam("USER");
}
if ($LC_Password === "")
{
$LC_Password = readParam("PASSWORD");
}
$orderID = "";
$customerID = substr(readParam("PURCHASE_ID"), 0, 10);
$comment = readParam("EMAIL")."-".readParam("PURCHASE_ID");
// Create product array
$products = array();
$itemID = readParam("INTERNAL_PRODUCT_ID");
$quantity = 1;
if (!ONCE_PER_PURCHASED_QUANTITY)
{
$quantity = readParam("QUANTITY");
}
// Add product to the product array
$products[] = array (
"itemIdentification" => $itemID,
"quantity" => $quantity,
);
// Create the order
$order = array(
"orderIdentification" => $orderID,
"customerIdentification" => $customerID,
"comment" => $comment,
"product" => $products,
);
// Calling webservice
$ticket = doOrder($LC_Username, $LC_Password, $order);
if ($ticket)
{
Header("HTTP/1.1 200 Ok");
Header("Content-Type: text/plain");
print TICKET_URL.$result->order->ticketIdentification;
exit;
}
else
{
$error = "No result from WSConnector_doOrder";
trigger_error($error, E_USER_WARNING);
printError(500, "Internal Error.");
exit;
}
// End of Main program
?>
Now this is the code that I got and have to work with. And this is hosted on a different remote server.
I am very very new to salesforce and I am not really sure how to trigger calling this php file over a remote site.
The basic idea is:
1. New entry in Lead is created.
2. Immediately 2 fields (custID and prodID) are sent to this PHP file I have pasted above (some of the variables are different)
3. This does its processing and sends 2 fields back to salesforce.
Any help or guidance is appreciated. Even links to read up on is okay as I am completely clueless.
PS: I have another example where it makes use of JSON Messages if that may make any difference.
Thanks
I'll repost the links from my comment :)

Web hook in salesforce?
If your PHP endpoint is visible on the open web (not a part of some intranet or just your own localhost) then simplest thing to do would be to send an Outbound Message from Salesforce. No coding required, just some XML document you'll have to parse on the PHP side. Plus it will automatically attempt to resend the messages if the host is unreachable...
If your app can't be accessed from SF servers then I think your PHP app will have to be the "actor". Querying SF every X minutes for new Leads or maybe subscribing to Streaming API... This will mean you'd have to store credentials to SF on your PHP app and remember to either change the password periodically or set on the "integration user"'s profile the "password never expires" checkbox.
So you're getting the notification, you generate your tickets, time to send them back. Will you want to pretend the update of Lead was done by the person that created it or will you want to see "last modified by: Integration User"? Outbound message can contain session id which you can use to act as the person who initiated the action (created the lead and fired the workflow) - at least until they log out or the session timeouts.
For message back you can use SOAP or REST salesforce apis - read the docs to figure out how to send an update command (and if you want to make it clear it was done by special user associated with this PHP app - how to log in to the APIs). I think the user's profile must have "API enabled" ticked before you could reuse somebody's session so maybe it's better to have a dedicated account for integrations like that...
Another thing to keep in mind if it'd be outbound messages is to ignore the messages sent from sandboxes so if somebody makes a test environment you will not call your "production" database of tickets. You can also remember to modify the outbound message and remote site setting every time a sandbox is made so you'll have "prod talking to prod, test talking to test". I know you can include user's session id in the OM - so maybe you can also add organization's id (for production it'll stay the same, every new sandbox will have new id).
The problem with this approach is that it might not scale. If 1000 leads is inserted in one batch (for example with Data Loader) - you'll get spammed with 1000 outbound messages. Your server must be able to handle such load... but it will also mean you're using 1 API request to send every single update back. You can check the limit of API requests in Setup -> Company Information. Developer Edition will have this limit very low, sandboxes are better, production is best (it also depends how many user licenses have you bought). That's why I've asked about some batching them up.
More coding but also more reliable would be to ask SF for changes every X minutes (Streaming API? Normal query? check the "web hook" answer) and send an update of all these records in one go. SELECT Id, Name FROM Lead WHERE Ticket__c = null (note there's nothing about AND LastModifiedDate >= :lastTimeIChecked)...
I am connecting to an API, and getting a report in a TSV format. I am needing to upload the report to Google BigQuery, but all the documentation I have found so far loads data from Google Cloud Storage. Is there a way to load data from a seperate URL?
Here is the code I have thus far:
$service = new Google_BigqueryService($client);
// Your project number, from the developers.google.com/console project you created
// when signing up for BigQuery
$project_number = '*******';
// Information about the destination table
$destination_table = new Google_TableReference();
$destination_table->setProjectId($project_number);
$destination_table->setDatasetId('php_test');
$destination_table->setTableId('my_new_table');
// Information about the schema for your new table
$schema_fields = array();
$schema_fields[0] = new Google_TableFieldSchema();
$schema_fields[0]->setName('Date');
$schema_fields[0]->setType('string');
$schema_fields[1] = new Google_TableFieldSchema();
$schema_fields[1]->setName('PartnerId');
$schema_fields[1]->setType('string');
....
$destination_table_schema = new Google_TableSchema();
$destination_table_schema->setFields($schema_fields);
// Set the load configuration, including source file(s) and schema
$load_configuration = new Google_JobConfigurationLoad();
$load_configuration->setSourceUris(array('EXTERNAL URL WITH TSV'));
$load_configuration->setDestinationTable($destination_table);
$load_configuration->setSchema($destination_table_schema);
$job_configuration = new Google_JobConfiguration();
$job_configuration->setLoad($load_configuration);
$load_job = new Google_Job();
$load_job->setKind('load');
$load_job->setConfiguration($job_configuration);
$jobs = $service->jobs;
$response = $jobs->insert($project_number, $load_job);
I realize that this is meant for Google Cloud Storage, but I do not want to use it, if I am just going to pass data through it and delete it within the hour.
Is there PHP code that I can use that will allow me to use external URLs and load data from them?
As Pentiuum10 mentioned above, BigQuery doesn't support reading from non-Google Cloud Storage URLs. The logistics involved would be tricky ... we'd need credentials to access the data, which we don't really want to have to be responsible for. If this is a popular request, we might end up supporting external paths that are either unrestricted or support oauth2. That said, we haven't had a lot of users asking for this so far.
Feel free to file a feature request via the public issue tracker here: https://code.google.com/p/google-bigquery/issues/.
I have somewhat of a knowledge of the PHP coding language and I would like to connect the Campaign Monitor API(Link) with my website, so that when the user enters something into the form on my site it will add it to the database on the Campaign Monitor servers. I found the PHP code example zip file, but it contains like 30 files, and I have no idea where to begin.
Does anyone know of a tutorial anywhere that explains how to connect to the API in a step-by-step manner? The code files by themselves include to much code that I may not need for simply connecting to the database and adding and deleting users, since I only want to give the user the power to add and delete users from the Mailing List.
This actually looks pretty straightforward. In order to use the API, you simply need to include() the CMBase.php file that is in that zip file.
Once you've included that file, you can create a CampaignMonitor object, and use it to access the API functions. I took this example out of one of the code files in there:
require_once('CMBase.php');
$api_key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$client_id = null;
$campaign_id = null;
$list_id = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$cm = new CampaignMonitor( $api_key, $client_id, $campaign_id, $list_id );
//This is the actual call to the method, passing email address, name.
$result = $cm->subscriberAdd('joe#notarealdomain.com', 'Joe Smith');
You can check the result of the call like this (again taken from their code examples):
if($result['Result']['Code'] == 0)
echo 'Success';
else
echo 'Error : ' . $result['Result']['Message'];
Since you're only interested in adding a deleting users from a mailing list, I think the only two API calls you need to worry about are subscriberAdd() and subscriberUnsubscribe():
$result = $cm->subscriberAdd('joe#notarealdomain.com', 'Joe Smith');
$result = $cm->subscriberUnsubscribe('joe#notarealdomain.com');
Hope that helps. The example files that are included in that download are all singular examples of an individual API method call, and the files are named in a decent manner, so you should be able to look at any file for an example of the corresponding API method.
