CRM

Sample PHP code to call CRM methods

You have to create an XML to call a proper method. After creating the request XML you can use such kind of code.

$opts = array(
    'http' => array(
        'method'  => 'POST',
        'header'  => array(
            'Connection: close',
            'Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8',
            'Content-Length: '.strlen($xml)
        ),
        'content' => $xml
    )
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$response = file_get_contents("https://co3app.com/api/crm", false, $context);
echo $response;

Every method will return with an XML response.
