How do I update the new email and phone fields through the podio PHP API?

I have been attempting top use both the:
PodioItemField::update
and the
$item = PodioItem::get_basic( ### );
$item->fields[###] -> values ... ;
$item->save();

options and keep getting errors and warnings without any update success.

  to resolve the issues I had to update the PodioItemField.php in the following places:

  added case statements to the
  public function set_type_from_class_name()
case 'PodioPhoneItemField':
$this->type = 'work';
break;
case 'PodioEmailItemField':
$this->type = 'work';
`break;

  and then add the two additional classes to the file

  /**
  * phone field
  */
  class PodioPhoneItemField extends PodioItemField {

  /**
   * Override __set to use field specific method for setting values property
   */
  public function __set($name, $value) {
      if ($name == 'values' && $value !== null) {
          return $this->set_value($value);
      }
      elseif ($name == 'value') {
          if ($value === null) {
              return parent::__set('values', null);
          }
          $type = !empty($this->values['type']) ? $this->values['type'] : '';
          return $this->set_value(array('type' => $type, 'value' => $value));
      }
      elseif ($name == 'type') {
          if ($value === null) {
              return parent::__set('values', null);
          }
          $phone = !empty($this->values['value']) ? $this->values['value'] : '0';
          return $this->set_value(array('type' => $value, 'value' => $phone));
      }
      return parent::__set($name, $value);
  }
  
  /**
   * Override __get to provide values as an integer
   */
  public function __get($name) {
      $attribute = parent::__get($name);
      if ($name == 'values' && $attribute) {
          return $attribute[0];
      }
      elseif ($name == 'value') {
          return $this->values ? $this->values['value'] : null;
      }
      elseif ($name == 'type') {
          return $this->values ? $this->values['type'] : null;
      }
      return $attribute;
  }
  
  public function set_value($values) {
      parent::__set('values', $values ? array($values) : array());
  }
  
  public function api_friendly_values() {
      return $this->values ? $this->values : null;
  }
  

  }

  /**
  * email field
  */
  class PodioEmailItemField extends PodioItemField {

  /**
   * Override __set to use field specific method for setting values property
   */
  public function __set($name, $value) {
      if ($name == 'values' && $value !== null) {
          return $this->set_value($value);
      }
      elseif ($name == 'value') {
          if ($value === null) {
              return parent::__set('values', null);
          }
          $type = !empty($this->values['type']) ? $this->values['type'] : '';
          return $this->set_value(array('type' => $type, 'value' => $value));
      }
      elseif ($name == 'type') {
          if ($value === null) {
              return parent::__set('values', null);
          }
          $email = !empty($this->values['value']) ? $this->values['value'] : '0';
          return $this->set_value(array('type' => $value, 'value' => $email));
      }
      return parent::__set($name, $value);
  }
  
  /**
   * Override __get to provide values as an integer
   */
  public function __get($name) {
      $attribute = parent::__get($name);
      if ($name == 'values' && $attribute) {
          return $attribute[0];
      }
      elseif ($name == 'value') {
          return $this->values ? $this->values['value'] : null;
      }
      elseif ($name == 'type') {
          return $this->values ? $this->values['type'] : null;
      }
      return $attribute;
  }
  
  public function set_value($values) {
      parent::__set('values', $values ? array($values) : array());
  }
  
  public function api_friendly_values() {
      return $this->values ? $this->values : null;
  }
  

  }

  hopefully this will help others

  Any chance a Podio team member could update the PHP Client Documentation to show these two field examples?

  Hello, I have the same issue, please give an example of how you gave values to $item->fields[###] -> values

   

  is it like this : $item->fields['email'] -> values= array("type"=>"work","value"=>"a@a.com"); Thank you!
