[SOLVED] Order History question

[MrBaseball34]

I am wanting to change the status of an order from an outside script. It seems to me that doing this:

$new_history = new OrderHistory();
$new_history->id_order = intval($id_order);
$new_history->id_order_state = _PS_OS_PAYMENT_;
$new_history->addWithemail(true);

Makes a new record in the ps_order_history table.
Is this normal behavior or am I doing something wrong?

Do I need to do this as well?

$new_history->changeIdOrderState(_PS_OS_PAYMENT_, $id_order);

No problem with this. I figure out the logic.

Hi,
I'm in trouble with the same topic trying to update order status from an external script.
I'm writing

$new_history->changeIdOrderState(12, $order_id);

but the order doesn't move to status 12.

Where is the issue?
Regards,

Solved, using the code above about orderhistory adding the request to the method "add" to write in the DB.

What does the "base" (at the top of the script) include requirements look like for using the "API" (or "internals") of PrestaShop?
