Publishing destinations via script

It looks like the formatting for publishing pages has changed in the web services recently? It used to be that you set 'destination' => 'name-of-destination', but now it looks like you set an array of 'destinations' (plural) with identifiers, correct?

I'm making a script that will publish multiple pages on different sites. I'm using the following:

$publish = $client->publish ( array (
  'authentication' => $auth, 
  'publishInformation' => array(
    'identifier' => array( 
      'type' => 'page', 
      'id' => $asset["id"] ), 
    'destinations' => array(
      'type' => 'destination', 
      'path' => array( 
        'path' => 'name-of-destination', 
        'siteId' => $asset["siteId"] ) ), 
    'unpublish' => false ) 
  ) 
);

However, this is still publishing to all destinations. I want it to only publish to the one I specify. How do I make that happen?

I've tried putting 'name-of-destination' as '/name-of-destination' (with a slash) too. Thanks for the help.

   Hi,

   The destinations property should point to an array of stdClass (identifier) objects, or to an array of arrays (containing type and path), not to a simple array.

   <complexType name="destination-list">
     <sequence>
       <element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="destination" type="impl:identifier"/>
     </sequence>
   </complexType>

   Can you show me what that would look like for the PHP code above please?

   I don't work with raw code any more. Therefore, I have not tested the code. But try the following:
   

   $publish = $client->publish ( array (
     'authentication' => $auth, 
     'publishInformation' => array(
       'identifier' => array( 
         'type' => 'page', 
         'id' => $asset["id"] ), 
       'destinations' => array(
         array(
           'type' => 'destination', 
           'path' => array( 
             'path' => 'name-of-destination', 
             'siteId' => $asset["siteId"] ) ) ), 
       'unpublish' => false ) 
     ) 
   );
   

   In case you have not looked at my library, you might want to check it out.
