Hi. I want to add an account to my contact. I created an account and got the account's owner ID and then i try to insert that ID into my contact but no luck. This is what I am doing:

$FIELDS=array('type'=>'contact','FirstName'=>'newtest','LastName'=>'test', 'AccountId'=>"00530000000p0A8AAI");
$result = $client->create($FIELDS);

if I do this:

$FIELDS=array('type'=>'contact','FirstName'=>'newtest','LastName'=>'test');

the contact does get created..so it has something to do with trying to add the account to the contact.

I also tried $client->insert

any help would be great, thanks.

Hi, I have the following code to get the owner id from an account:

$query_str = "select 'OwnerId' from 'account' where Name = 'The Company Name'";

$result = $client->query($query_str,1)
while (list($k1, $record) = each($result->records)) {
printf(":: %s",$record);
}
this is the output result:

:: Account
::
:: 00530000000QJjmAAG

It works but all I want is the account ID itself not the other 2 strings. Can someone explain why this is happenening? (I'm just trying to get an account ID from an account Name)...Thanks.
