Removal - Remove customer accounts from the database
Objective: A Web application for listing and deleting customers.
Difficulty: *
Preparation
Duplicate file list_the_clients.php
from Chapter 3, rename it to D-CRUD.php
and put it at the root of your Web server.
For this last part of our tutorial, we will learn how to delete a resource.
Here is the complete, detailed code you need in order to remove a customer:
try { $webService = new PrestaShopWebservice('http://example.com/' , 'ZR92FNY5UFRERNI3O9Z5QDHWKTP3YIIT' , false); // Create an instance $opt['resource'] = 'customers'; // Resource to use opt['id'] = 3; // ID to use $webService->delete($opt); // Delete echo 'Client '.3.' successfully deleted!'; // If we can see this message, that means we have not left the try block } catch (PrestaShopWebserviceException $ex) { $trace = $ex->getTrace(); // Retrieve all info on this error $errorCode = $trace[0]['args'][0]; // Retrieve error code if ($errorCode == 401) echo 'Bad auth key'; else echo 'Other error: <br />'.$ex->getMessage(); // Display error message{color} }
This code enables you to remove a customer whose ID is "3". As you can see, deleting the customer differs only slightly from retrieving a resource. In fact the only thing different in the code lies in the method called: We will no longer call this method get()
but instead simply delete()
!
You must now replace the customer ID by a dynamically-defined ID.
Now create all the script that will display a list of customer IDs and delete a customer of your choice.
Again, if you have trouble, look at the code from the 4-delete.php
sample file.
