Thread: is salesforce work with php 4.3.9? please help

Hi Mike,
I was reading this thread getting started PHP+Salesforce and it's very good Thread to start working with salesforce,
I'm working on php 4.3.9,
the PHPToolkit that you have been provide in the Thread support php 5 and above.

The company that I'm working for never worked with XML and interaction with other software (and my experience is also little about this area), and we need to build interface that interact with salesforce for a client for our.

Is it possible to work with salesforce with php4?
Do you have maybe a link to some script file like PHPToolkit that work with php4?

Thanks in advance.
Daniel

Thanks for joining! Somewhere there is a toolkit that was patched together for salesforce's API, but it was not very good. I do not know where to get it and it is so outdated that you will have a lot of limitations with what it can do. Also, as you probably already know this, your php version is way out of date and no longer supported by php.net at all.

I know that you have already thought about this, but I would upgrade your php and go from there, you will be current and stay up to date with changes to the API


Sorry that is not the answer that you are looking for, but that is all the advice that I have

Thanks, Mike
If we upgrade the php version from 4 to 5,
will we encounter some functionally problem due to changes from one version to the other or this is safe and upward compatible?

That is a hard question to answer man! If you have other PHP scripts that run other processes then you would need to look at them.

As far as upgrading php for Salesforce API integration, I do not see any reason why you would have any issues at all with an upgrade to php 5.*

I'm in a similar boat as the OP, looking for a PHP4 Salesforce toolkit. The rudimentary and limited nature of any solution should not be an issue.

All I need the toolkit to do is login to SF so I can pass those authentication credentials into another SoapClient which uses an APEX Webservice.

If it comes to it I might try reverting the PHP5 toolkit login function to PHP4

[...edit...]
There is an existing nusoap solution within my org that I didn't know about.

From what I know about the tool kit that was developed for Salesforce using PHP 4 was stopped about 3 or 4 years ago. I am not sure if it would even work with your version. I would upgrade your server to PHP5, specially since php 5.3 is about to be launched.

Just my two cents man

best of luck
