I know next to nothing about Microsoft CRM so there will be very basic and general tips. After 5min on Google I would say that Microsoft CRM does have an official API. It looks like this can be accessed from php using soap. To get further you need access to Microsoft CRM to start setting up and testing.
You probably won't find any turn-key solution for this but here is how I would proceed (have worked like this before on similar things). Look for some sample code or tutorial on using nusoap and CakePHP Look for ... on using a web service as a datasource (I guess the CRM should be accessed as a "model" if possible) Look for ... on how the CRM API works (probably mostly for asp.net which is fun to translate) http://www.developer.com/lang/article.php/3509586 Check out M$ directions for using nusoap to access their .net web services http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms980207.aspx#MWS_PHPLoc_Calling_FindAddress Depending on how much interactivity you need with the CRM getting something going could take a few days to a few weeks maybe. It won't be the usual Cake-lightning but it can certainly be done. /Martin On Jan 15, 6:19 am, AussieFreelancer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, on a couple of occasions, clients have requested the > integration of their website with Microsoft CRM.
