I'm using cURL in PHP to do this.

The syntax I'm looking for is for the last key/value pair in this array:

$node_data = array(
'title' => $title,
'type' => 'place',
'body[und][0][value]' => $body,
'field_place_country[und][0][value]' => $field_place_country,
'field_place_latitude[und][0][value]' => $field_place_latitude,
'field_place_longitude[und][0][value]' => $field_place_longitude,
'field_legacy_id[und][0][value]' => $field_legacy_id,
'field_place_alternate_name[und][0][value]' => 'test a',
'field_place_related_document[und][0][target_id]' => $field_place_related_document_id,
);

What should the syntax be, rather than: field_place_related_document[und][0][target_id]

?

Thank you,
Doug

Not sure if this is the same kind of reference you are looking for in any case it might help someone who stumbles upon this issue: http://drupal.org/node/1354202

Ok, Marc.

I'll pay you $10, if you can answer the question with a solution that works.

note: there can be more than one entity reference in the data I'm importing, so I'm going to need something that works along these lines:

field_place_related_document[und][0][target_id]
field_place_related_document[und][1][target_id]
field_place_related_document[und][2][target_id]
...
field_place_related_document[und][n][target_id]

Will PayPal work for you?

I don't want paid I simply have a) no time b) no desire to answer your question given your attitude. If you want paid help go and create an entry on drupal.org/paid-services.

Please do not re-open this issue, it is going to stay closed as I say if you want paid help use the appropriate channel on d.o.

If the field is using the autocomplete widget, you have to use this format:

'field_place_related_document[und][0][target_id]' => "anything ({$field_place_related_document_id})",

The form handler automatically gets the node id from the parenthesis.

I had this problem with an ajax call (phonegap app).
Syntax suggested by #12 worked for me, as I'm using the autocomplete widget at the field definition:
...'&node[field_entityreference][und][0][target_id]=anything (' + encodeURIComponent(nid_reference) + ')'...

Also suggested here.
Thanks to azicchetti.
