Edit a custom field in netsuite using PHP toolkit - php

Question

I see a bunch of examples of how to add a new order however I'm trying to update a custom field of an existing order using the PHP toolkit. Could anyone start me out with this? I'm not sure where to start.
This is the code to add a new order
<?php
require_once '../PHPToolkit/NetSuiteService.php';
$service = new NetSuiteService();
$svr = new getSelectValueRequest();
$svr->fieldDescription = new GetSelectValueFieldDescription();
$svr->pageIndex = 1;
$priceFields = array(
'recordType' => RecordType::salesOrder,
'sublist' => 'itemList',
'field' => 'price',
'filterByValueList' => array(
'filterBy' => array(
array(
'field' => 'item',
'sublist' => 'itemList',
'internalId' => '458',
)
)
)
);
if ($id != null) {
echo "Custom price level id is " . $id . "\n";
} else {
echo "Custom price level not found " . $id . "\n";
}
$so = new SalesOrder();
$so->entity = new RecordRef();
$so->entity->internalId = 21;
$so->itemList = new SalesOrderItemList();
$soi = new SalesOrderItem();
$soi->item = new RecordRef();
$soi->item->internalId = 104;
$soi->quantity = 3;
$soi->price = new RecordRef();
$soi->price->internalId = $id;
$soi->amount = 55.3;
$so->itemList->item = array($soi);
$request = new AddRequest();
$request->record = $so;
$addResponse = $service->add($request);
if (!$addResponse->writeResponse->status->isSuccess) {
echo "ADD ERROR";
exit();
} else {
echo "ADD SUCCESS, id " . $addResponse->writeResponse->baseRef->internalId;
}
?>

You'll need a customFieldList object, which is an array of custom fields. There are different objects for the different data types of custom fields - below would be a string custom field. I utf8_encode to deal with weird characters that you normally don't see.
$customFieldList = new CustomFieldList();
$customField = new StringCustomFieldRef();
$customField->value = utf8_encode("contents of string custom field");
$customField->internalId = 'custbody_whatever_your_field_is';
$customFieldList->customField[] = $customField;
$so->customFieldList = $customFieldList;
