sf_dave How does upsert know the record type?
I'm wrapping the PHP API and I would like to upsert for both create and update calls from our external application, however I'm a little baffled how salesforce knows what you are trying to upsert based on an external id.
Can't I create a custom field in Account's named "MyID" and a second custom field in Contacts called "MyID"?
And at this point how would salesforce know what i'm talking about when i say
$salesforce->upsert("MyID__c", $objects);
Thanks

I updated my Contact and Account to both have a field named "ExternalId" which was setup as an external id. I then exported my wsdl and tried to upsert an object with a phone number (since it is a common field to both Account and Contact) and a new ExternalId__c.
The upsert failed because LastName is a missing required field, so it is obviously defaulting to a Contact v.s. an Account. Is there any logic behind this? I suppose we are supposed to keep our External ID's named differently across "Objects"
Any insight on this is appreciated.
