Question

Let me set the scene:

I’m a PHP developer that needs to take info from a web form and send it into a clients Salesforce. At first I though it was as simple as using Web2Lead. However the client has a Salesforce developer in house.

The in house developer has sent me partner.wsdl and CatalystWebservice.wsdl files along with login details to their sandbox to run all this on. The in house developer has basically said I need to use the SOAP API of Salesforce and once connected and logged in I need to call ->makeContact("FormField1", "FormField2", "etc...");

So after spending all day trying many things and hitting many problems I have finally hit a wall I cannot climb. Here is my PHP code I have now:

<pre>
<?php
define("SOAP_CLIENT_BASEDIR", "../soapclient");
$USERNAME = '******@********' ;
$PASSWORD = '******************************' ;
require_once (SOAP_CLIENT_BASEDIR.'/SforcePartnerClient.php');
require_once (SOAP_CLIENT_BASEDIR.'/SforceHeaderOptions.php');

try {

    $mySforceConnection = new SforcePartnerClient();
    $mySoapClient = $mySforceConnection->createConnection(SOAP_CLIENT_BASEDIR.'/partner2.wsdl.xml');
    $loginResult = $mySforceConnection->login($USERNAME, $PASSWORD);

    $location = $mySforceConnection->getLocation();
    $session_ID = $mySforceConnection->getSessionId();

    $client = new SoapClient(SOAP_CLIENT_BASEDIR.'/CatalystWebservice.wsdl.xml');
    $sforce_header = new SoapHeader("http://soap.sforce.com/schemas/class/CatalystWebservice", "SessionHeader", array( "sessionId" => $session_ID ) );
    $client->__setSoapHeaders( array( $sforce_header ) );

    $client->makeContact("*****", "*****", "Address1", "Address2", "London", "****", "no-one@****", "0123456789", "07891236456", "New Build Homebuy", "This is my question\n\nAnd an other line", "1", "Test");

} catch (Exception $e) {
    print_r($e);
}
?>
</pre>

I have starred out sensitive information for here. When I run the above code I get the following output:

SoapFault Object
(
    [message:protected] => UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION: An unexpected error occurred. Please include this ErrorId if you contact support: ***********-*** (***********)
    [string:Exception:private] => 
    [code:protected] => 0
    [file:protected] => /home/******/public_html/********/test/partner.php
    [line:protected] => 23
    [trace:Exception:private] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
.....

And the CatalystWebservice.wsdl.xml file

The in house developer has developed something in C# to test his WebService and it works perfectly fine so it must be something I am not doing right. What am I doing incorrectly?

I found the solution… I had to make sure I was sending the data as an associative array like so:

$response = $client->makeContact
                (
                    array
                    (
                        "sLastName" => (string) $wpcf7_data->posted_data['last-name'],
                        "sFirstName" => (string) $wpcf7_data->posted_data['first-name'],
                        "sAddress1" => (string) $wpcf7_data->posted_data['address-one'],
                        "sAddress2" => (string) $wpcf7_data->posted_data['address-two'],
                        "sCity" => (string) $wpcf7_data->posted_data['town-city'],
                        "sPostcode" => (string) $wpcf7_data->posted_data['post-code'],
                        "sEmail" => (string) $wpcf7_data->posted_data['email-address'],
                        "sPhone" => (string) $wpcf7_data->posted_data['telephone'],
                        "sMobile" => (string) "",
                        "sEnquiries" => (string) $wpcf7_data->posted_data['enquiry'],
                        "sComment" => (string) $wpcf7_data->posted_data['comments'],
                        "sPropertyID" => (string) wpcf7_special_mail_tag_for_post_data( "", "_post_id" ),
                        "sPropertyName" => (string) wpcf7_special_mail_tag_for_post_data( "", "_post_title" ),
                    )
                );
