Natively Connect to Sage Intacct Data in PHP

Drop the CData ODBC Driver for Sage Intacct into your LAMP or WAMP stack to build Sage Intacct-connected Web applications. This article shows how to use PHP's ODBC built-in functions to connect to Sage Intacct data, execute queries, and output the results.

Getting Started

---

Configure a DSN

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

To connect using the Login method, the following connection properties are required: User, Password, CompanyId, SenderId and SenderPassword.

User, Password, and CompanyId are the credentials for the account you wish to connect to.

SenderId and SenderPassword are the Web Services credentials assigned to you by Sage Intacct.

Establish a Connection

Open the connection to Sage Intacct by calling the or methods. To close connections, use or .

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC SageIntacct Source","user","password");

Connections opened with are closed when the script ends. Connections opened with the method are still open after the script ends. This enables other scripts to share that connection when they connect with the same credentials. By sharing connections among your scripts, you can save system resources, and queries execute faster.

$conn = odbc_pconnect("CData ODBC SageIntacct Source","user","password");
...
odbc_close($conn); //persistent connection must be closed explicitly

Create Prepared Statements

Create prepared statements and parameterized queries with the function.

$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CustomerId = ?");

Execute Queries

Execute prepared statements with .

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC SageIntacct Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CustomerId = ?");
$success = odbc_execute($query, array('12345'));
 

Execute nonparameterized queries with .

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC SageIntacct Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_exec($conn, "SELECT Name, TotalDue FROM Customer");
 

Process Results

Access a row in the result set as an array with the function.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC Sage Intacct data Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_exec($conn, "SELECT Name, TotalDue FROM Customer");
while($row = odbc_fetch_array($query)){
 echo $row["Name"] . "\n";
}

Display the result set in an HTML table with the function.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC Sage Intacct data Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CustomerId = ?");
$success = odbc_execute($query, array('12345'));
if($success)
 odbc_result_all($query);

More Example Queries

You will find complete information on the driver's supported SQL in the help documentation. The code examples above are Sage Intacct-specific adaptations of the PHP community documentation for all ODBC functions.
