It's possible to Edit an Text AD ?

[ics]

I know its possible to change the status of an ad with the following
code:

$ad = new Ad();
$ad->id = $adId;

$adGroupAd = new AdGroupAd();
$adGroupAd->adGroupId = $adGroupId;
$adGroupAd->ad = $ad;
$adGroupAd->status = 'PAUSED';

// Create operations.
$operation = new AdGroupAdOperation();
$operation->operand = $adGroupAd;
$operation->operator = 'SET';

$operations = array($operation);

// Update ad.
$result = $adGroupAdService->mutate($operations);

But it's possible to change the headline, the description and the url
of the link of the Ad ??

I tried:

// Create text ad.
$textAd = new TextAd();
$textAd->headline = 'test2222';
$textAd->description1 = 'test222';
$textAd->description2 = 'test22';
$textAd->displayUrl = 'www.test.com';
$textAd->url = 'http://www.test.com';
$textAd->id = $adId;

// Create ad group ad.
$textAdGroupAd = new AdGroupAd();
$textAdGroupAd->adGroupId = $adGroupId;
$textAdGroupAd->ad = $textAd;
$textAdGroupAd->status = 'ENABLED';

// Update operations.
$textAdGroupAdOperation = new AdGroupAdOperation();
$textAdGroupAdOperation->operand = $textAdGroupAd;
$textAdGroupAdOperation->operator = 'SET';

//---

$operations = array($textAdGroupAdOperation);

// Update ad.
$result = $adGroupAdService->mutate($operations);

but there is no difference... it only change the status of the add but
not the description, url, headline,...

I hope you someone can help me

You can only modify the status of an existing Ad. If you want to
change the text, headline, etc, you should create a new Ad, and pause
or delete the existing Ad.

This is consistent with what happens in the AdWords Web UI. If you
click to edit an Ad, you get a popup with this text:
----
You can edit this ad.
Changing the ad will delete the existing ad and create a new one. The
new ad will begin with statistics at zero, and statistics for the old
ad will be shown in the "Deleted ads" row.

Hi Ramesh,

You need to create an AdGroupAd and an Ad object within it, set the
adGroupId, status and adId, and call AdGroupAdService::mutate with SET
operation. See this code example for more details.
