EDIT: The problem was with another section of the code. There was nothing wrong with the envelope or the cURL settings and everything is now working.

I’m trying to add a SalesOrder record using SuiteTalk by sending a SOAP request using PHP and its cURL extension. (We cannot use NetSuite’s PHPToolkit because our web host does not have and cannot install PHP5’s SOAP extension.)

Here is the seemingly valid envelope being sent with sensitive information replaced:

Code:

false
true 1000 REMOVED REMOVED REMOVED

TEST-OrderId true
billemail@example.com

TEST-bill-first TEST-bill-last TEST-bill-phone
TEST-bill-address1
TEST-bill-address2
Eugene
OR
TEST-bill-zip


TEST-ship-first TEST-ship-last TEST-ship-phone
TEST-ship-address1
TEST-ship-address2
Eugene
OR
97401


3.02 REMOVED
2016-01-02T22:29:00+01:00
false



2
2.01
4.02


TEST-1: Value-1,TEST-2: Value-2








This is the ‘Record is an abstract type’ error received after the above envelope is sent:

Code:

soapenv:Server.userException
org.xml.sax.SAXException: {urn:core_2014_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com}Record is an abstract type and cannot be instantiated

partners-java003.svale.netledger.com



I write that the envelope is valid because I have sent the exact same XML via SoapUI 5.1.3 to SuiteTalk with success. When sending the request via SoapUI I receive this response:

Code:

REMOVED

This suggests there is a problem with the way the request is being sent by cURL. Here are the current settings of the cURL object in the PHP script and the headers cURL is sending: ($dom is the DOMDocument of the Envelope request)

Code:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, ‘https://webservices.netsuite.com/services/NetSuitePort_2014_2’);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 20);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $dom->saveXML());
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, ‘ca/cacert.pem’);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIE, ‘JSESSIONID=;NS_VER=2015.1.0;path=/’);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
‘SOAPAction: “‘ . $soapAction . ‘”‘,
‘Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8’,
‘Connection: Close’,
‘Expect:’
));

======================

headers from CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT and curl_getinfo:

[“request_header”]=>
string(234) “POST /services/NetSuitePort_2014_2 HTTP/1.1
Host: webservices.netsuite.com
Accept: */*
Cookie: JSESSIONID=;NS_VER=2015.1.0;path=/
SOAPAction: “add”
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
Connection: Close
Content-Length: 3095

”
Note that I have been able to successfully add Customer and InventoryItem records to NetSuite by sending these kind of envelopes to SuiteTalk through cURL. It is only when I try to add a SalesOrder record do I get the ‘Record is an abstract type and cannot be instantiated’ fault.

I haven’t been able to determine what is causing the request be sent incorrectly. Any advice on what is wrong or how to solve this problem is welcome.
