Integrate Sitelink using php - php

Question

I want to integrate Sitelink with my website using php. For demo they have just provided this code
echo '<p>Testing SiteLink...</p>';
define( 'SITELINK_URL', "https://www.smdservers.net/CCWs_3.5/CallCenterWs.asmx?WSDL");
define( 'SITELINK_CORP_CODE', "CCTST" );
define( 'SITELINK_LOC_CODE', "Demo" );
define( 'SITELINK_CORP_LOGIN', "Administrator" );
define( 'SITELINK_CORP_PASS', "Demo" );
$client = new SoapClient( SITELINK_URL );
$params->sCorpCode = SITELINK_CORP_CODE;
$params->sLocationCode = SITELINK_LOC_CODE;
$params->sCorpUserName = SITELINK_CORP_LOGIN;
$params->sCorpPassword = SITELINK_CORP_PASS;
try
{
$units = $client->SiteInformation( $params );
$result = $units->SiteInformationResult;
}
catch (Exception $e )
{
die( 'Error: '.$e->getMessage().'<br>'.$e );
}
echo htmlentities( $result->any );
But I am not able to understand how to fecth the data and process it using php. I have to Fetch unit sizes and their respective prices. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You are not trying to get Units you are getting SiteInformation
add type for $params first:
$params = new stdClass; // as stdClass
$params->sCorpCode = SITELINK_CORP_CODE;
$params->sLocationCode = SITELINK_LOC_CODE;
$params->sCorpUserName = SITELINK_CORP_LOGIN;
$params->sCorpPassword = SITELINK_CORP_PASS;
then:
$units = $client->UnitTypePriceList($params);
$result = $units->UnitTypePriceListResult->any;
and you have to parse the data with DOMDocument, check the tag name you want to display and print it out:
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadXML($result);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$el = $xpath->query('//Table');
foreach($el as $units){
$UnitID = $xpath->query('UnitID_FirstAvailable', $units)->item(0)->nodeValue;
echo $UnitID;
}
I don't know what are your desired values, but I took UnitID_FirstAvailable as example.

SiteInformation is expecting array not Object and your $params was never declared
define('SITELINK_URL', "http://www.smdservers.net/CCWs_3.5/CallCenterWs.asmx?WSDL");
define('SITELINK_CORP_CODE', "CCTST");
define('SITELINK_LOC_CODE', "Demo");
define('SITELINK_CORP_LOGIN', "Administrator");
define('SITELINK_CORP_PASS', "Demo");
$client = new SoapClient(SITELINK_URL);
$params = array("sCorpCode" => SITELINK_CORP_CODE,"sLocationCode" => SITELINK_LOC_CODE,"sCorpUserName" => SITELINK_CORP_LOGIN,"sCorpPassword" => SITELINK_CORP_PASS);
try {
$units = $client->SiteInformation($params);
header("Content-Type: text/xml");
print($units->SiteInformationResult->any);
} catch ( Exception $e ) {
die('Error: ' . $e->getMessage() . '<br>' . $e);
}

I know this is kind of old, but I've been doing some extensive work with the API. First off, you'll want this: SiteLink API Documentation
To get all available units, you could do something like this:
// define API connection credentials
define('SITELINK_URL', "http://www.smdservers.net/CCWs_3.5/CallCenterWs.asmx?WSDL");
define('SITELINK_CORP_CODE', "CCTST");
define('SITELINK_LOC_CODE', "Demo");
define('SITELINK_CORP_LOGIN', "Administrator");
define('SITELINK_CORP_PASS', "Demo");
$client = new SoapClient( SITELINK_URL );
$params->sCorpCode = SITELINK_CORP_CODE;
$params->sLocationCode = SITELINK_LOC_CODE;
$params->sCorpUserName = SITELINK_CORP_LOGIN;
$params->sCorpPassword = SITELINK_CORP_PASS;
$params->lngLastTimePolled = 0;
$params->bTestMode = true;
try
{
$units = $client->UnitsInformationAvailableUnitsOnly_v2($params);
$result = $units->UnitsInformationAvailableUnitsOnly_v2Result;
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
die( 'Error: '.$e->getMessage().'<br />'.$e );
}
echo '<table>';
$formatUnits = new SimpleXMLElement($result->any);
foreach($formatUnits->NewDataSet->Table as $unit){
echo "<tr>\r\n";
echo "<td><a href='#' data-unit-number='".$unit->sUnitName."' data-unit-id='".$unit->UnitID."' data-rate='".$rate."' class='res-unit-link'>".$unit->sUnitName."</a></td>\r\n";
echo "<td>".$unit->sTypeName."</td>\r\n";
echo "</tr>\r\n";
}
echo '</table>';
You could do var_dump($formatUnits) to see all available data in the object that gets returned by SiteLink. The above code is an example from something I made where I used jQuery to grab all of the data- attributes from the link to use for the rental/reservation process.
I hope this helps somebody. I really could have used it when I first started using the API.
