SuiteCRM is a powerful open-source customer relationship management (CRM) platform developed in PHP, designed to help businesses effectively manage and track customer relationships. Opportunity management is one of the core modules in SuiteCRM, allowing users to track potential sales opportunities and optimize the sales process.
This article will introduce how to extend the opportunity management functionality in SuiteCRM using PHP code examples, helping businesses better utilize the CRM system to manage opportunities.
SuiteCRM stores its data in a MySQL database, so the first step is to establish a connection between PHP and the database. Here is a PHP code example to connect to the SuiteCRM database:
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "suitecrm";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
<p>// Check connection<br>
if ($conn->connect_error) {<br>
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);<br>
}<br>
echo "Connection successful";<br>
?>Once the connection is established, you can use the following PHP code to query the list of opportunities from the SuiteCRM database:
<?php<br>
$sql = "SELECT * FROM opportunities";<br>
$result = $conn->query($sql);</p>
<p>if ($result->num_rows > 0) {<br>
// Loop through the results<br>
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {<br>
echo "Opportunity Name: " . $row["name"] . " - Opportunity Amount: " . $row["amount"] . "<br>";<br>
}<br>
} else {<br>
echo "No opportunities found";<br>
}<br>
$conn->close();<br>
?>The above code will query the opportunities data in SuiteCRM and display the opportunity names and amounts. If no opportunity records are found, it will display "No opportunities found".
In addition to retrieving the opportunity list, we can also create a new opportunity in SuiteCRM using PHP. Here is an example of PHP code to create a new opportunity:
<?php<br>
$name = "New Opportunity";<br>
$amount = 5000;<br>
$sql = "INSERT INTO opportunities (name, amount) VALUES ('$name', $amount)";</p>
<p data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {<br>
echo "New opportunity created successfully";<br>
} else {<br>
echo "Error creating opportunity: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;<br>
}<br>
$conn->close();<br>
?>The above code will insert a new opportunity record into the opportunities table of SuiteCRM. If the creation is successful, it will output "New opportunity created successfully"; if an error occurs, it will display the error message.
This article detailed how to extend the opportunity management functionality in SuiteCRM using PHP, including connecting to the database, retrieving the opportunity list, and creating new opportunities. With these capabilities, businesses can effectively manage and track sales opportunities, improving sales efficiency.
