PHP toolkit, searches and results?
This seems simple - but since there really isn't any documentation for the PHP toolkit that I can find - here's the question for those of you that have already fought with this...
Take the sample code in the toolkit... with a few changes in bold
[CODE]$service = new NetSuiteService();
$service->setSearchPreferences(true, 20, true);
$emailSearchField = new SearchStringField();
$emailSearchField->operator = "startsWith";
$emailSearchField->searchValue = "funky";
$search = new CustomerSearchBasic();
$search->email = $emailSearchField;
$request = new SearchRequest();
$request->searchRecord = $search;
$searchResponse = $service->search($request);[/CODE]
Pretty simple - it searches Customer records for emails that start with "funky"... but what I really want to do is just simply return certain columns - i.e. just the internalId. Instead of returning the full list and value set of the body fields. Thing is - I can't see how I tell SearchRequest() "here's the array of columns to return" like I can in native NS code ala nlobjSearchColumn()
