I needed to use PHP for two things:
- Given a lead's email address, retrieve the name, title, phone and email address of this lead's owner.
- Insert a new lead into the system.
I spent a lot of time searching the web, and saw many posts of people being unsuccessful with using SoapClient, so I didn't even bother trying. The first order of business was to figure out how to login using IFD (Internet Facing Deployment.) I found this page, which explained how to authenticate. It didn't work, but eventually we figured out that our IFD was not configured properly. In the IFD configuration tool, you can't just leave the "local" subnets blank. At least one IP range must be added, even if you want everything to use IFD. We added 127.0.0.1-127.0.0.255 as the "local" range.
I wrote two classes to handle the CRM. These are in the mscrm.php file.

You can now retrieve a lead's owner information like this:
require_once("mscrm.php");
$mscrm_service = new MSCRMService($host, $organization, $domain, $user, $password);
$mscrm_lead = new MSCRMLead($mscrm_service);
$owner = $mscrm_lead->find_owner_by_email($lead_email);
Creating a new lead is a little more involved, since you need to look up codes for picklists, like leadsourcecode. You can do something like this:
require_once("mscrm.php");
$mscrm_service = new MSCRMService($host, $organization, $domain, $user, $password);
$mscrm_lead = new MSCRMLead($mscrm_service);
$lead_info = array();
$leadsourcecode = $mscrm_lead->find_leadsourcecode($lead_source);
if($leadsourcecode) {
$lead_info["leadsourcecode"] = $leadsourcecode;
}
$lead_info["firstname"] = $firstname;
$lead_info["lastname"] = $lastname;
$lead_info["jobtitle"] = $jobtitle;
$lead_info["companyname"] = $companyname;
$industrycode = $mscrm_lead->find_industrycode($industry);
if($industrycode) {
$lead_info["industrycode"] = $industrycode;
}
$lead_info["websiteurl"] = $websiteurl;
$lead_info["address1_telephone1"] = $phone;
$lead_info["emailaddress1"] = $email;
$lead_info["address1_city"] = $city;
$lead_info["address1_stateorprovince"] = $state;
$lead_info["address1_country"] = $country;
$mscrm_lead->create($lead_info);
Hopefully this will save someone days of headaches.
