Sugar Cloud - how to create a file (csv) from Sugar and push it to an external program using FTP

Hi Groupe Sugar,

For CSV related operations (reading, writing etc.), you can use parsecsv library inside vendor/parsecsv/php-parsecsv.

You can checkout the sample codes inside examples directory in vendor/parsecsv/php-parsecsv/examples on how to use it.

For pushing the file to FTP, you can use the basic curl.

Let us know if this helps.

Thank you hats for your answer, even if, in my understanding, it sounds more like a trick / workarround that an official / recommended way to do that.

We test it and it works fine ; we are just scared that, if Sugar change the library or something similar, it won't work anymore.

Moreover, we also need, for other project, to create different kind (PDF, DOCX etc.) of documents and then it sounds even more like a trick.

You can use the default splFileobjects in php without issue. As long as you use the default namespace ( \) it works. Also you need to take into account to clean the files up after you've uploaded them. If you want to generate documents based on your data in SugarCRM I thinkg it's best to search for commercial solutions that could do this based on the api layer of sugarcrm
