FileMaker PHP API连接问题

Question

I have recently created a script which should be passed an IP address of the users FM DB Server location, then the script will connect to that server with the given username, password, IP Address and DB Name.

However, no matter what I pass as the IP, it never throws an error.

Is there some form of error handling within the FileMaker PHP API for connection errors?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

All the FileMaker API calls return an result object in case of error. You should try this:

Here is an example:

$fm = new FileMaker();

// Set 'hostspec' property using setProperty()
$fm->setProperty('database', $fmConfig['db']);
$fm->setProperty('hostspec', $fmConfig['host']);
$fm->setProperty('username', $fmConfig['user']); 
$fm->setProperty('password', $fmConfig['pass']);

$dt = date('m/d/Y H:i:s', $myDate);
$freq = $fm->newFindCommand("myTestLayout_1.0") ;
$freq->addFindCriterion("ModificationTimeStamp", ">".$dt);
$result = $freq->execute();
if (FileMaker::isError($result)) {
    $ErrMsg = 'Error code: '.$result->getCode().' Message: '.$result->getMessage();
    throw new Exception ($ErrMsg);  
}
$foundRecords = $result->getRecords();
echo count($foundRecords)." records";

The server that you're making the calls from needs to have curl support - make sure that's enabled. Best bet is to try locally against your FMS box with the test database - once you've got that working then you can try the remote connection.
