Hi this is a long shot but I'm attempting to insert data into a sales-force Object through an API call from PHP(Codeigniter framework). I am using CURL protocol and the record is not being inserted but I receive no error message either.

All my parameters for connection are correct and I get retrieve records/update records successfully but I cannot insert.

public function insert_record($object_name, $field_list=FALSE) {

    $request = trim($this->instance_url).

    '/services/data/'.$this->api_version.'/sobjects/'.trim($object_name).'/';

    return $this->execute_request($request, FALSE , json_encode($field_list));

}

The function call:

$record_to_insert = array("Name__c" => 
"Ricky Hernadez", "Status__c" => "Single", 
"Description__c" => "This is a test");
$this->data['results'] =$results = $this->salesforce->insert_record("Online_Participant__c", $record_to_insert);

this is what $results array contains:

object(stdClass)#24 (2) {
  ["recentItems"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    object(stdClass)#25 (3) {
      ["attributes"]=>
      object(stdClass)#26 (2) {
        ["type"]=>
        string(21) "Online_Participant__c"

  }

}

It seems like you are making a GET request but you actually need to use POST request in order to create a new record.
