run below code, if you have any problem then let me know.
<?php
//Put your Base url
$url = 'yoursugarcrm_url/service/v4_1/rest.php';
// Open a curl session for making the call
$curl = curl_init($url);
// Tell curl to use HTTP POST
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
// Tell curl not to return headers, but do return the response
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// Set the POST arguments to pass to the Sugar server
$parameters = array(
'user_auth' => array(
'user_name' => 'admin',
'password' => md5('uDje9ceUo89nBrM'),
),
);
$json = json_encode($parameters);
$postArgs = array(
'method' => 'login',
'input_type' => 'JSON',
'response_type' => 'JSON',
'rest_data' => $json,
);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postArgs);
// Make the REST call, returning the result
$response = curl_exec($curl);
// Convert the result from JSON format to a PHP array
$result = json_decode($response);
if ( !is_object($result) ) {
die("Error handling result.\n");
}
if ( !isset($result->id) ) {
die("Error: {$result->name} - {$result->description}\n.");
}
// Get the session id
$sessionId = $result->id;
//echo json_encode(array("sessionId"=>$sessionId));
//Your moduel parameter
//Parameter of the customer
$fullname = $_POST['fullname'];
$password = md5($_POST['password']);
$email_address = $_POST['email_address'];
// My moduel
$parameters = array(
'session' => $sessionId, //Session ID get from session.php
'module' => 'custo_Customers', // Your PackageKey_ModuleName
'name_value_list' => array (
array('name' => 'fullname', 'value' => $fullname),
array('name' => 'email_address', 'value' => $email_address),
array('name' => 'password', 'value' => $password),
),
);
$json = json_encode($parameters); // Json strgin
$postArgs = 'method=set_entry&input_type=JSON&response_type=JSON&rest_data=' . $json;
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postArgs);
// Make the REST call, returning the result
$response = curl_exec($curl);
// Convert the result from JSON format to a PHP array
$result = json_decode($response,true);
echo $response;
?>
