Can someone provide a php sample using nusoap/sugarcrm api to create an acct/lead in sugarcrn? - sugarcrm

Question

Can someone provide a sample code chunk of php using the sugarcrm API/nusoap for adding creating an acct. and then linking a lead to the acct?
I've got a sample function that adds a lead, and I can see how to create an acct, but I can't see how to tie a lead to the acct, to simulate the subpanel process in the sugarcrm acct/subpanel process.
thanks
// Create a new Lead, return the SOAP result
function createLead($data)
{
// Parse the data and store it into a name/value list
// which will then pe passed on to Sugar via SOAP
$name_value_list = array();
foreach($data as $key => $value)
array_push($name_value_list, array('name' => $key, 'value' => $value));
// Fire the set_entry call to the Leads module
$result = $this->soap->call('set_entry', array(
'session' => $this->session,
'module_name' => 'Leads',
'name_value_list' => $name_value_list
));
return $result;
}
$result = $sugar->createLead(array(
'lead_source' => 'Web Site',
'lead_source_description' => 'Inquiry form on the website',
'lead_status' => 'New',
'first_name' => $_POST['first_name'],
'last_name' => $_POST['last_name'],
'email1' => $_POST['email'],
'description' => $_POST['message']
));

You need to find the ID for the account and assign that ID to whatever the account_id field name is in the Lead Module. I have run into a couple things like this before and I have found it easier to go straight to the Sugar database. So, write a statement that will return the account is, for example: SELECT id WHERE something_in_the_account_table = something else;
Then you can assign that id in your $result array. I hope it helps. I didn't have any code or documentation in front of me or I would have helped more.
