Natively Connect to Pipedrive Data in PHP

Drop the CData ODBC Driver for Pipedrive into your LAMP or WAMP stack to build Pipedrive-connected Web applications. This article shows how to use PHP's ODBC built-in functions to connect to Pipedrive 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.

Establish a Connection

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

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC Pipedrive 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.

$conn = odbc_pconnect("CData ODBC Pipedrive Source","user","password");
...
odbc_close($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 Deals WHERE Value = ?");

Execute Queries

Execute prepared statements with .

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC Pipedrive Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM Deals WHERE Value = ?");
$success = odbc_execute($query, array('50000'));
 

Execute nonparameterized queries with .

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC Pipedrive Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_exec($conn, "SELECT PersonName, UserEmail FROM Deals WHERE Value > 50000");
 

Process Results

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

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC Pipedrive data Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_exec($conn, "SELECT PersonName, UserEmail FROM Deals WHERE Value > 50000");
while($row = odbc_fetch_array($query)){
 echo $row["PersonName"] . "\n";
}

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

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC Pipedrive data Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM Deals WHERE Value = ?");
$success = odbc_execute($query, array('50000'));
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 Pipedrive-specific adaptations of the PHP community documentation for all ODBC functions.
