Using PHP to add Attachments

Using PHP to add Attachments

Does anyone have a complete piece of PHP code to add attachments?

(PHP5/API7).

I’m getting “INVALID_TYPE: sObject type 'sObject' is not supported.”

 

Thx – joshQ

Try something like this:

Code:
try {
  $mySforceConnection = new SforcePartnerClient();
  $mySoapClient = $mySforceConnection->createConnection("partner.wsdl.xml");
  $mylogin = $mySforceConnection->login("yourlogin@xyc.com", "password");

  $sObject1 = new SObject();
  $sObject1->type = 'Attachment';
  $handle = fopen('gif_1.gif','rb');
  $file_content = fread($handle,filesize('gif_1.gif'));
  fclose($handle);
  $encoded = chunk_split(base64_encode($file_content));
  $sObject1->body = $encoded;
  $createFields = array (
    'Name' => 'gif_1.gif',
    'ParentId' => '0033000000FqGBwAAN',
    'Body' => $encoded
  );
  $sObject1->fields = $createFields;
  $createResponse = $mySforceConnection->create(array($sObject1));
  echo $mySforceConnection->getLastRequest();
  print_r($createResponse);
} catch (Exception $e) {
  echo $e->faultstring;
  echo $mySforceConnection->getLastRequest();
}

Thanks for the useful post Nick!

 

For anyone else finding this post, I've updated the code to work with the php Toolkit v. 13. 

 



try {
	$sObject = new stdclass();
	$sObject->FirstName = 'Leed';
	$sObject->LastName = 'John';
	$sObject->Company = 'Test Co';
	$sObject->Status = 'Open - Not Contacted';

	echo "**** Creating the following:\r\n";
	$createResponse = $mySforceConnection->create(array($sObject), 'Lead');

	$ids = array();
	foreach ($createResponse as $createResult) {
	  print_r($createResult);
	  array_push($ids, $createResult->id);
	}

	$sObject1 = new stdclass();
	$handle = fopen('gif_1.gif','rb');
	$file_content = fread($handle,filesize('gif_1.gif'));
	fclose($handle);
	$encoded = chunk_split(base64_encode($file_content));
	$sObject1->Name = 'gif_1.gif';
	$sObject1->ParentId = "0033000000FqGBwAAN"; 
	$sObject1->body = $encoded;
	$createResponse = $mySforceConnection->create(array($sObject1), 'Attachment');
	echo $mySforceConnection->getLastRequest();
	print_r($createResponse);


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

 

 Cheers,

Cleaned this up a tad more and added variables $parentID and $file so this code code be used more dynamically.  This should be a snippit for the php toolkit. 


try {
          $mySforceConnection = new SforcePartnerClient();
          $mySoapClient = $mySforceConnection->createConnection('partner.wsdl.xml');
          $mylogin = $mySforceConnection->login($USERNAME, $PASSWORD);

          $file = 'test.txt';
          $parentID = 'parentObjectIDGoesHere';

          $sObject1 = new SObject();
          $sObject1->type = 'Attachment';
          $handle = fopen($file,'rb');
          $file_content = fread($handle,filesize($file));
          fclose($handle);
          $encoded = chunk_split(base64_encode($file_content));
          $sObject1->body = $encoded;
          $createFields = array (
            'Name' => $file,
            'ParentId' => $parentID,
            'Body' => $encoded
          );
          $sObject1->fields = $createFields;
          $createResponse = $mySforceConnection->create(array($sObject1));
          echo $mySforceConnection->getLastRequest();
          print_r($createResponse);
        } catch (Exception $e) {
                  echo $e->faultstring;
                  echo $mySforceConnection->getLastRequest();
        }
?>
