Unable to run PHP update example - concrete entity type error

I have downloaded php-client-53.zip and Pear::SOAP 0.8RC3 beta.

The login and list examples work fine but I'm unable to run the update example in the HTML readme:

$FIELDS=array('type'=>'lead','FirstName'=>'newtest','LastName'=>'test','Company'=>'testthis');
$client->create($FIELDS);

The result I get back is:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
<soapenv:Fault>
<faultcode>soapenv:Server.userException</faultcode>
<faultstring>common.exception.ApiException: Must send a concrete entity type.</faultstring>
<detail>
<sf:fault xsi:type="sf:InvalidSObjectFault" xmlns:sf="urn:fault.enterprise.soap.sforce.com">
<sf:exceptionCode>INVALID_TYPE</sf:exceptionCode>
<sf:exceptionMessage>Must send a concrete entity type.</sf:exceptionMessage>
</sf:fault>
</detail>
</soapenv:Fault>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

I enabled tracing on the client object:

$client->__trace(1);

and called $client->__get_wire() but there is no outgoing data to display. The incoming data is the SOAP error.

What have I missed ?

Cheers


Dave.

Hi dave k,

This error occurs when an attribute is missing on the sobject element.  An attribute of type="Lead" needs to be on the sobject element.   Unfortunately, I've no knowlede of PHP and can't recommend a fix or workaround.

I've found the problem.

I was using the Enterprise SOAP URL rather than the Partner URL.

Once I changed, that the examples worked.

Cheers

Dave.
