How to put date_start parameters via REST got error Did not recognize date_start

Question

Hi all,

I created Calls via REST v10 I copy format of start_date from database.

but always return error message.

stdClass Object
(
  [error] => invalid_parameter
  [error_message] => Did not recognize date_start as a date/time, it looked like 2016-05-19 12:45:00
)

My code is below:

$seconds = time();
$_seconds = ceil($seconds / (15 * 60)) * (15 * 60);
$date_start = date('Y-m-d H:i:00', $_seconds);
$url = $base_url . "/Calls/";
$record_arguments = array(
    "name" => "Test from local",
    "description" => "Description from local",
    "parent_id" => "<id>",
    "date_start" => $date_start,
    "status" => "<status>",
     ...
);

How do I put time in date_start or any date?

Hi Autchara, SugarCRM uses ISO 8601 standart for API calls. PHP.net has a predefined format for this. PHP: date - Manual You would use format 'c' in order to get ISO 8601 formated times which API excepts them. So here is the parameters for logging a call for 30 minutes from NOW; $date_start = date('c');

$params = array( 
 "name" => "Test from local", 
 "description" => "Description from local", 
 "date_start" => $date_start,
 "duration_minutes" => 30
);
