PHP - Create Task

I'm having trouble with what seems to be a simple function to create a Task with PHP.  Below is the code I'm using.  I have hard coded ID's in where appropriate for testing...


$createFields = array (
        'AccountID' => '0013000000Dd0ZV',
        'ActivityDate' => gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s", time()),
        'Description' => 'My Description',
        'IsClosed' => '0',
        'OwnerId' => '00530000000t3av',
        'Priority' =>'High',
        'Status' => 'In Progress',
        'Subject' => 'Call',
        'WhatID' =>'0013000000Dd0ZV',
        'WhoID' =>'0033000000F6Bb1'
      );
     
      $sObject1 = new SObject();
      $sObject1->fields = $createFields;
      $sObject1->type = 'Task';
       $createResponse = $mySforceConnection->create(array($sObject1));


I have a valid $mySforceConnection.

I get a silent failure.  I  can create a Contact fine.  Also, I have checked the describeSObject on the Task object and it is Createable.

:smileysad:

Can you print out $createResponse ?
jshjsh
I inserted:

echo "<BR><BR>CREATE RESPONSE: ".$createReponse."<BR><BR>";

and I get a empty response.

I am using a try catch, and the catch clause does not run either.

I think I need to get the correct Status and Priority IDs  from those tables rather than setting them as strings?

Are you sure it even gets to the create call?
jshjsh
Yes, I have echo's along the way to ensure that the $createFields syntax is ok.  Also, I have done this successfully to create a Contact.

SOLVED!  :smileyvery-happy:

AccountID and IsClosed can not be programmatically set.  THey are set by the api based on the WhoID and Status fields.

THe following code works:

    $createFields = array (

        'ActivityDate' => gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s", time()),
        'Description' => 'SUCCESSFULLY CREATE A NEW TASK IN PHP: ',
        'OwnerId' => $_SESSION['sf_userID'],
        'Priority' =>'Normal',
        'Status' => 'Completed',
        'Subject' => 'ProgrammaticTask',
        'WhatID' =>'0013000000Dd0ZV',
        'WhoID' =>'0033000000F6Bb1'
      );
     
       $sObject1 = new SObject();
      $sObject1->fields = $createFields;
      $sObject1->type = 'Task';
      $createResponse = $mySforceConnection->create(array($sObject1));


Thanks for the help!

Hello !

I've tried your code, but I have the following problem with the activitydate field (code working without this field, not working with this field..).

create one: Array ( [errors] => Array ( [fields] => [message] => �ch�ance uniquement: valeur de type non valide�: 2006-10-11 10:28:05 [statusCode] => INVALID_TYPE_ON_FIELD_IN_RECORD ) [id] => [success] => false )

Do you have any idea on when it can come from ?

Best regards,

TB.

Complete code :

    // Creer La Tache
    $task = new sObject('Task',
                           null,
                           array(                         
                               'Status' => 'Completed',
                               'Subject' => 'Appeler',
                                  'WhatId' => $idsur18car,
                               'Type' => 'A Rappeler',
                                 'ActivityDate' => gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s", time()),
                                   )                          
                          );

    $createResult = $sfdc->create($task);
