Donated & Partially Paid problem

Question

I am using PHP Toolkit 20 to integrate a donation form to Salesforce. Here is the code i'm using:

/*
* This function creates a Donation on Salesforce. Fires when Contact already exists on Salesforce.
* It affiliates the donation to the Account of the Contact found.
*/

// Select contact
$query = 'SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE npe01__One2OneContact__c=\'' . $ContantFound . '\'';
$temp = (Array)$mySforceConnection->query($query);
$AccoundId = $temp['records'][0]->Id;

// Creating Donation
$Donation = new stdClass();
$Donation->Name                     = prepare_input($_POST['firstname']) . ' ' . prepare_input($_POST['lastname']) . ' - Donation ' . date('Y-m-d');
$Donation->AccountId                = $AccoundId;
$Donation->StageName                = 'Donated';
$Donation->CloseDate                = date('Y-m-d h:m:iZ');
$Donation->Amount                   = prepare_input($_POST['amount']);
$Donation->CurrencyIsoCode          = $currency;
$Donation->npsp__Primary_Contact__c = $ContantFound; // Contact ID
$result = $mySforceConnection->create(array($Donation), 'Opportunity');
if(!$result) {
    throw new Exception('Error adding a Donation: ' . $result);
}

Basically I am querying the database beforehand, getting data from the Posted form and checking it against the database to see if I have a Contact with that First Name, Last Name and Email and if I found one the above code will run.

The issue is that I particularly set $Donation->StageName = 'Donated'; but it seems that it's not working well because one time I try to test donate, the stage on Salesforce is set to Donated and another time it says Partially Paid, it doesn't seem to have any pattern to it.

Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Answer 1

I saw the logs and I don't really understand what Salesforce is doing much, why it chose to insert Partially Paid instead of Donated but the solution I used was to create an update query which uses the id of the create query response and set the StageName field again to Donated.

$DonationUpdate = new stdClass();
$DonationUpdate->Id = $createResponse[0]->id;
$DonationUpdate->StageName = 'Donated';
$createResponse = $mySforceConnection->update(array($DonationUpdate), 'Opportunity');
