PHPToolkit nullFieldList error
I am getting a weird error when I try to use nullFieldList in an Update call...
[CODE]
$newItem = new nsComplexObject('InventoryItem');
$nullField = new nsComplexObject('NullField');
$nullField->setFields(array('name' => 'custitem_field1'));
$fields = array (
'internalId' => '1482',
'nullFieldList' => array($nullField)
);
$newItem->setFields($fields);
$updateResponse = $myNSclient->update($newItem);
[/CODE]
The error message I get is..
Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [soapenv:Server.userException] org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize. in PHPtoolkit.php:1543
Stack trace:
#0 PHPtoolkit.php(1543): SoapClient->__soapCall('update', Array, NULL, Object(SoapHeader), Array)
