PHP Submit form to SugarCRM

Question

I have a form that currently uses PHP to insert the form entries into a MySQL database. Is it possible to insert the results directly into a SugarCRM contact table instead of a MySQL db?

Answer 1

maybe you can dump your table as csv file. then using sugarcrm accounts's import feature to import these data in to accounts module

Answer 2

SugarCRM Contacts are several datatables in the (MySQL) database... (one for standard fields, another for custom fields, and then yet others for email address management)... as such, you should use the interfaces and features they've created to allow you to more easily interact with your data into the CRM.

for capturing leads, look into sugarcrm "Campaigns lead capture" and "Web Lead form"

for inserting data directly to other modules (i.e. contacts), you should consider using the soap interface/connector. - http://www.sugarcrm.com/wiki/index.php?title=SOAP_Intro_and_Practical_Examples

hope this helps
