getPicklist in the future?

is there any planning or future for the php toolkit to include support for picklist searching and updating?

I can't update a picklist field via the update command, unless im doing something wrong and if so can someone post some code snippits on howto accomplish this?

I'm about to start doing the same where we update a picklist from an external application in php.  From digging around in the docs it looks like you can select values of a picklist and it is returned as a semicolon delimted list.
Code:
In the following example SOQL notation, the query filters on values in the MSP1__c field that are equal to AAA and BBB selected (exact match):
MSP1__c = 'AAA;BBB'

In the following example SOQL notation:
MSP1__c includes ('AAA;BBB','CCC')

the query filters on values in the MSP1__c field that contains either of these values:
    * AAA and BBB selected.
    * CCC selected. 

A match will result on any field value that contains 'AAA' and 'BBB' or any field that contains 'CCC'. For example, the following will be matched:
    * matches with ' AAA;BBB':
             'AAA;BBB'
             'AAA;BBB;DDD'

 so is it possible to update a feild with the same syntax?
Code:
class Data
{
 public MyPickList;
 public Id;
}

$data = new Data();
$data->Id = 'ABC123';
$data->MyPickList = 'Item1;Item2;Item4';
$salesforce->update(array($data), 'Contact');

Thanks,
-Dave
