Correct PHP syntax for getting custom fields
I'm writing a PHP script to fetch Customer records. So far, the fetch is working great. I can see there is a field named 'customFieldList', which contains the custom fields.
What I can't figure out is how to get the value of one of the custom fields.
Here's the code which works:
[PHP]
// Load the customer into an object.
$this->customer = $this->customerSearchRes->recordList[0];
$this->customerInternalID = $this->customer->getField('internalId');
$this->customerActive = !($this->customer->getField('isInactive'));
[/PHP]
I can do getField() as much as I like. But getField() with a custom field name won't work. Based on PHPtoolkit there is a function called getCustomField, but that only applies to a nsCustomFieldList.
