searchProductsCustom

Search products and return specific fields in csv, tab or xml format.

Description

Like searchProducts this function allows for the searching of the product database. Instead of return all data about each product in Product object form, it takes a FieldList parameter which specifies which fields should be returned. The results can be returned in a csv, tab or xml format. In all cases the data is base64 encoded. Developer must decode the data before using.

The following fields may be used to search the database and return transaction details:

  • ProductID
  • ProductRefNum
  • SKU
  • CategoryID
  • Enabled
  • Name
  • Description
  • Model
  • Weight
  • ShipWeight
  • Price
  • WholesalePrice
  • ListPrice
  • DateAvailable
  • Manufacturer
  • Type
  • MinQuantity
  • MaxQuantity
  • ImageURL
  • URL

Examples

PHP 5

For directions on how to set up the WSDL link, create "$token" and "$client", go to PHP Soap How-to.

```php

<?php

try {

  // Create search parameter list
  $search=array(
    array(
      'Field'=>'name',   
      'Type'=>'eq',
      'Value'=>'A Great Product')
    );
  $start=0;
  $limit=100;
  $matchall=true;
  $sort='created';

  $res=$client->searchProducts($token,$search,$matchall,$start,$limit,$sort);

  print_r($res);

}
catch(SoapFault $e) {
  echo $client->__getLastResponse();
  die("Search Products Failed :".$e->getMessage());
}

?>

### PHP 4 (NuSOAP)

p```hp
    <?php

    include './nusoap.php';

    // Create Soap Client
    $s=new soapclient("./usaepay.wsdl",'wsdl');
    $tran=$s->getProxy();

    // Source Key Setting
    $sourcekey='yQbOFkjD8wwlkZ3AhY248k3Lc9PH1l14';
    $pin='1234';

    // Prep source key
    $seed=mktime() . rand();
    $tmp=$sourcekey . $seed . $pin;
    $hash=sha1($tmp);
    $token=array('SourceKey'=>$sourcekey, 'PinHash'=>array('Type'=>'sha1', 'Seed'=>$seed,'HashValue'=>$hash));


    // Prep Request data
    $search=array(
          array('Field'=>'title', 'Type'=>'eq','Value'=>'A Great Product')
    );
    $start=0;
    $limit=10;
    $matchall=true;
    $sort='created';

    $res=$tran->searchProducts($token,$search,$matchall,$start,$limit,$sort);

    if(!$err=$tran->getError()) {
            print_r($res);
    } else {

            echo "Error: $err\n";
            echo $tran->request;  

    }
