Using API update()

Hi all -

I've been working today on a simple PHP page that will record a user's response in a form and update a corresponding field on their account. I'm getting a success message from my update() code when I print_r, but I'm not actually seeing any updated information in my accounts. The code I have is as follows:


Code:
$prop = addslashes($_GET['prop']);
$rank = $_POST['NPS'];
 
$nps = new sObject();
$nps->type = 'Account';
$nps->Id = $prop;
$nps->fields = array('NPS_2__c' => '$rank', 'NPS_2_Date__c' => 'DATE');

print_r($mySforceConnection->update($nps)); 
echo "Thank you for your response. Your information has been submitted.";

 The ID is a known field that will be a passed variable in the URL. When the page is accessed and the form is submitted, I get the following print message:

stdClass Object ( [id] => 0017000000NoRVFAA3 [success] => 1 ) Thank you for your response. Your information has been submitted.

However, like I said, if I check the fields in the sObject on the Account page, they have not been updated. I know it's got to be something simple I'm overlooking, but it's Monday of course. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

It looks like this is an old post, but I am having the exact same problem.

Can anyone help us out, I have looked everywhere and I cannot find a solution to this problem.

brodrigu,

I made the original post and never got a reply, so I just had to figure it out for myself. It was actually really simple for me. The only change I had to make was in the update line:

Code:
$nps = new sObject();
$nps->type = 'Account';
$nps->Id = $prop;

$nps->fields['NPS_2__c'] = $rank;
$nps->fields['NPS_2_Date__c'] = $date;

$mySforceConnection->update(array($nps));

I had to wrap my $nps object in an array before it would update properly. If you read my original post, the update line looked like this:

Code:
print_r($mySforceConnection->update($nps));

 
You can see the only difference was wrapping the sObject in an array. Worked for me! Hopefully it will be that simple for you.
