Hello Everybody,

I'm pretty new to the API and I am having a problem with creating a lead.  It gives me the error of Required Fields Missing. Below the code, I'll paste in the responses I get. I've also pasted in the arrays and sobject to view although I took the print_r()'s out of the code below.

FYI: I don't want to use the web-to-lead because my next step is to add more functionality when capturing a lead. I thought I'd first start with getting a lead into the system first.


Here is my code (which is pretty much from one of the samples just changed to creating a lead vs. account:

Code ( I took out the login portion):

$fields = array (

 'LastName' => $_POST['last_name'],
 'Company' => $_POST['company'],
 'Salutation' => $_POST['salutation'],
 'FirstName' => $_POST['first_name'],
 'Title' => $_POST['title'],
 'Phone' => $_POST['phone'],
 'Email' => $_POST['email'],
 'LeadSource' => $_POST['lead_source']
 );

 $sObject = new SObject();
 $sObject->type = 'Lead';
 $sObject->fields = $fields;

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

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

 Responses:
This is the fields array

Array
(
    [LastName] => Last123123
    [Company] => testing
    [Salutation] => 
    [FirstName] => First123
    [Title] => test
    [Phone] => 949-555-1212
    [Email] => test@tetst.com
    [LeadSource] => Website
)

This is the sObject

SObject Object
(
    [type] => Lead
    [fields] => Array
        (
            [LastName] => Last123123
            [Company] => testing
            [Salutation] => 
            [FirstName] => First123
            [Title] => test
            [Phone] => 949-555-1212
            [Email] => test@tetst.com
            [LeadSource] => Website
        )

)

**** Creating the following:

stdClass Object
(
    [errors] => stdClass Object
        (
            [fields] => Array
                (
                    [0] => LastName
                    [1] => Company
                )

            [message] => Required fields are missing: [LastName, Company]
            [statusCode] => REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING
        )

    [id] => 
    [success] => 
)

As you can see, the sObject Array has the fields in it. So I don't know how to solve this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris
