Natively Connect to Keap Data in PHP

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

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.

Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Keap Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Keap.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Keap (see below).

Keap API Profile Settings

Log into your Keap web app, click the user bubble in the bottom left, choose Settings > API, then generate a new Personal Access Token or Service Account Key.

Establish a Connection

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

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC API 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.

$conn = odbc_pconnect("CData ODBC API Source","user","password");
...
odbc_close($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 Account WHERE Email = ?");

Execute Queries

Execute prepared statements with .

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC API Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM Account WHERE Email = ?");
$success = odbc_execute($query, array('[email protected]'));
 

Execute nonparameterized queries with .

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC API Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_exec($conn, "SELECT Name, Email FROM Account WHERE Email = '[email protected]'");
 

Process Results

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

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC Keap data Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_exec($conn, "SELECT Name, Email FROM Account WHERE Email = '[email protected]'");
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 Keap data Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM Account WHERE Email = ?");
$success = odbc_execute($query, array('[email protected]'));
if($success)
 odbc_result_all($query);
