PHP CURL PATCH到API创建而不是更新

Question

I am using a client management software called UCRM. The API I am using is meant to patch/update but it seems to make new entries when it comes to the contacts array.

            $ch = curl_init();

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://url.com" . $clientID);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PATCH");

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "{
              \"contacts\": [
                {
                  \"phone\": \"" . $pendingTo . "\"
                }
              ]
            }");

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
              "Content-Type: application/json",
              "X-Auth-App-Key: 12345"
            ));

            $response = curl_exec($ch);
            curl_close($ch);

I can't figure out how to make it update the existing phone number in the contacts array. The code above seems to add to the array.

Take a look at the UCRM API Inspector.

Apparently, your request is invalid because "street1", "city" and "zipCode" are required:

At '/street1' Missing required property: street1

At '/city' Missing required property: city

At '/zipCode' Missing required property: zipCode

Try it like this and let me know:

{

  "street1": "2580 Orchard Pkwy",

  "city": "San Jose",

  "zipCode": "95131",

  "contacts": [

    {

      "phone": "1234"

    }

  ]

}

I would actually advise you to run a GET first on the customer you want to update, modify the JSON string that is returned and then PATCH it.
