Create incident in dynamics crm using api in php

问题

Im trying to create case in dynamics CRM using php.For that I can see that title,description and customer is required.So that I tried below code:

  $authHeader = 'Authorization:' . $type.' '.$access_token;
    //Request for incidents
  $data = array("title"=>"api_incident_title",
            "description" =>"api_incident_description",
    "primaryContactid" =>"https://vonageholdings.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.0/accounts(ebaf25a6-f131-e611-80f8-c4346bac3990)"
        );
    //URL
    $url ='https://vonageholdings.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.0/incidents';
    //request for incidents
    $data_string = json_encode($data);
    $curl = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array($authHeader,
            'Content-Type:application/json','Accept:application/json;'));

It's showing "code":"","message":"You should specify a parent contact or account." Im trying to use navigation property.But I can't find the exact property to send customerId.

I have tried with following links: link1link2link3

I'm trying for a long time.It's too frustrated.

After I tried @Alex comment,I referred create incidents with following request,

$data = array('primarycontactid@odata.bind' =>"https://xxxx.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.0/contacts(4bafdfb0-08d7-e511-80eb-c4346bac3990)",
        'incident_customer_accounts'=>array("title"=>"case_account","description" =>"case")
        );

It shows A node of type 'StartObject' was read from the JSON reader when trying to read the contents of the navigation property 'incident_customer_accounts'; however, a 'StartArray' node was expected. this error.

Now I think our request is correct but format is mismatching.

Finally case is create using below request in php

$data = array("title"=>"test",
        "description" =>"case",
        "customerid_contact@odata.bind" =>"/contacts(c18df8d6-74d9-e511-80eb-c4346bac3990)"
        );

 $url ='https://yyyyy.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.0/incidents';

I know nothing about PHP, except a lot of people use it. Have you checked out Alexa CRM? They have a php toolkit to simply connecting to, and interacting with CRM and PHP.

Associate entities on create

To associate new entities to existing entities when they are created you must set the value of single-valued navigation properties using the @odata.bind annotation.

The following request body posted to the accounts entity set will create a new account associated with an existing contact with the contactid value of 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001.

Request

POST [Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts HTTP/1.1

Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

OData-MaxVersion: 4.0

OData-Version: 4.0

Accept: application/json

{
"name":"Sample Account",

"primarycontactid@odata.bind":"/contacts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001)"
}

Response

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

OData-Version: 4.0

OData-EntityId: [Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002)
