Hi the code below creates a custom object in salesforce.

 

<?php
require_once('soapclient/SforcePartnerClient.php');
require_once('soapclient/SforceMetadataClient.php');

try {
    $mySforceConnection = new SforcePartnerClient();
    $mySoapClient = $mySforceConnection->createConnection('soapclient/Partnetwsdl.xml');
    $loginResult = $mySforceConnection->login('xxxx@xx.com', 'cc20127B8fw0x92YerGiV4zak5ucMc');
    
    $myMetadataConnection = new SforceMetadataClient('soapclient./metadata.xml', $loginResult, $mySforceConnection);

 

//Create object
    $customObject = new SforceCustomObject();
    $customObject->fullName = 'CustomObjFromPHP__c';
    $customObject->deploymentStatus = DEPLOYMENT_STATUS_DEPLOYED;

    $customObject->setDescription("A description");
    $customObject->setEnableActivities(true);
    $customObject->setEnableDivisions(false);
    $customObject->setEnableHistory(true);
    $customObject->setEnableReports(true);
    $customObject->setHousehold(false);
    $customObject->setLabel("My Custom Obj from PHP");
    $customField = new SforceCustomField();
    $customField->setFullName('MyCustomFieldb__c');
    $customField->setDescription('Description of New Field');
    $customField->setLabel('My Custom Field Label');
    $customField->setType('Text');
        
    $customObject->nameField = $customField;
    
    $customObject->pluralLabel = 'My Custom Objs from PHP';
    $customObject->sharingModel = SHARING_MODEL_READWRITE;
    print_r($myMetadataConnection->create($customObject));

 

} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $myMetadataConnection->getLastRequest();
    echo $e->faultstring;
}

?>

Hi Vishal,

 

For the REST API, Create/Read/Update/Delete are all covered in this article - http://developer.force.com/cookbook/recipe/interact-with-the-forcecom-rest-api-from-php

 

For the SOAP API, there is sample code here - http://wiki.developerforce.com/index.php/PHP_Toolkit_20.0_Samples

 

Cheers,

Hey Pat, I found the following code to create a Custom Object in JAVA.

 

}

private void createCustomObject() {
        CustomObject co = new CustomObject();
        String name = "My Custom Object";
        co.setFullName("MyCustomObject" + "__c");
        co.setDeploymentStatus(DeploymentStatus.Deployed);
        co.setDescription("Created by the Metadata API Sample");
        co.setEnableActivities(true);
        co.setLabel(name);
        co.setPluralLabel(co.getLabel() + "s");
        co.setSharingModel(SharingModel.ReadWrite);
        CustomField nf = new CustomField();
        nf.setType(FieldType.Text);
        nf.setDescription("The custom object identifier on page layouts, " +
                "related lists etc");
        nf.setLabel("My Custom Object");
        nf.setFullName("MyCustomObject" + " __c");
        // The name field appears in page layouts, related lists, and elsewhere. 
    
        co.setNameField(nf);

        try {
            AsyncResult[] ars = metadatabinding.create(new CustomObject[] { co });
            if (ars == null) {
                System.out.println("The object was not created successfully");
                return;
            }
            
            String createdObjectId = ars[0].getId();
            String[] ids = new String[] {createdObjectId};
            boolean done = false;
            long waitTimeMilliSecs = ONE_SECOND;
            AsyncResult[] arsStatus = null;
            
            /** * After the create() call completes, we must poll the results * of the checkStatus() call until it indicates that the create * operation is completed. */ 
    
            while (!done) {
                arsStatus = metadatabinding.checkStatus(ids);
                if (arsStatus == null) {
                    System.out.println("The object status cannot be retrieved");
                    return;
                }
                done = arsStatus[0].isDone();
                if (arsStatus[0].getStatusCode() != null )  {
                    System.out.println("Error status code: " +
                            arsStatus[0].getStatusCode());
                    System.out.println("Error message: " + arsStatus[0].getMessage());
                }
                Thread.sleep(waitTimeMilliSecs);
                // double the wait time for the next iteration 
    
                waitTimeMilliSecs *= 2;
                System.out.println("The object state is " + arsStatus[0].getState());
            }
            
            System.out.println("The ID for the created object is " +
                    arsStatus[0].getId());
        }
        catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println("\nFailed to create object, error message was: \n" 
                 + ex.getMessage());
            getUserInput("\nHit return to continue...");
        }
