salesforce Element {}item invalid at this location

Question

I am using the below code to connect to salesforce using PHP

require_once ('SforcePartnerClient.php');

require_once ('SforceHeaderOptions.php');  

require_once ('SforceMetadataClient.php'); 

$mySforceConnection = new SforcePartnerClient(); 

$mySforceConnection->createConnection("cniRegistration.wsdl");

$loginResult = $mySforceConnection->login("username", "password.token");

$queryOptions = new QueryOptions(200);

try {

  $sObject = new stdclass();

  $sObject->Name = 'Smith';

  $sObject->Phone = '510-555-5555';

  $sObject->fieldsToNull = NULL;

  echo "**** Creating the following:\r\n";

  $createResponse = $mySforceConnection->create($sObject, 'Account');

  $ids = array();

  foreach ($createResponse as $createResult) {

    print_r($createResult);

    array_push($ids, $createResult->id);

  }

} catch (Exception $e) {

  echo $e->faultstring;

}

But the above code is connected to salesforce database. But is not executing the create commands. it's giving me the below error message

Creating the following: Element {}item invalid at this location

can anyone suggest me to overcome the above problem

Answer 1

MAK, in your sample code SessionHeader and Endpoint setup calls are missing

$mySforceConnection->setEndpoint($location);

$mySforceConnection->setSessionHeader($sessionId);

after setting up those, if you still see an issue, check the namespace urn

$mySforceConnection->getNamespace

It should match targetNamespace value in your WSDL.
