I would like to know total count of records to implement pagination. I discover there is such attribute in dataInfo by examining your source code. Unfortunately "my" response doesn't contain dataInfo key. Is there any way to enable it e.g. in request?
Thanks.

Hi,

Concerning Error code 102, is there a way to find which field is missing in a layout? (Error Code: 102, Error Message: Field is missing.)

Or ignore the field that does not exist and proceed with creating and filling a record with other fields that do exist?

Thanks in advance!

I have the sample script working fine with the test database, but I'm having trouble connecting with my own database, as I receive HTTP 400 Bad Request across the board. The requests work in Postman, however. Does the wrapper have difficulty handling database files that have spaces in it's filename?

Hi,

Hi have 2 servers on version FMS 18 and i upgrade on 18.0.4 yesterday... Since, the FMDataAPI doesn't Work :-(

Hi,
There are related fields on the layout
eg. event::start (not in a portal )
but
foreach ($result as $key=> $record ) {
$record->field("start", "event"); // this produce error even if I have a portal

// only way I found it to work was having a portal and accessing it like below
foreach ($record->event as $item) {
     print $item->start;
}

}

What am I missing on how to access a related field not in a portal

Thanks
Frank

We have big files (200MB and up) that we want to link on a website.
If we use $file->getContainerData('ContainerFile') we get the error The field 'ContainerFile' is not field name or container field..
This piece of code works fine in a database where small images are directly inside the database instead of storing them externally.
How can we receive/download the file from a container where the file is not directly stored inside the database?
Right now my data received via $file->ContainerFile looks like this:

href="file:20180125_151216.gpx\rfilewin:/C:/Users/MyUsername/Downloads/20180125_151216.gpx"

In the Filemaker Server settings under Configuration -> Folder, the "Container Data Folder" is enabled and a folder on my C:\ drive on the server is selected.

When executing any API call at the end of the debugging result I keep getting this error:

Recoverable fatal error: Object of class INTERMediator\FileMakerServer\RESTAPI\Supporting\FileMakerRelation could not be converted to string in /FMDataAPI.php on line 1446

Should I leave it and not worry about it?

I tried to fix it but it is beyond my skills at the moment.

I am using php 7.2.127.2.12

I'm sorry, I've forgotten to implement the OAuth process on FM 17 platform. As far as Ver.20 goes, the OAuth feature isn't available. So we need to call '/oauth/getoauthurl' and whaterver. I will start to do it soon.

Looking at the FileMaker API logs I see that when I use the php script to perform a series of things the script creates a new token per each action, it will be nice to use only one token for all the actions and delete that token/sesion once the script is finished, let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this code, it has made my request to the API a lot easier, you guys are genius!

Arigato!

I am enjoying FMDataAPI a lot and cannot thank you enough, today I had the need to show an image that is stored in a FileMaker container, but the simple
== base64_encode(file_get_contents($result->containerFieldName) did not work ==

After searching the web I found a solution that will be nice to have in FMDataAPI so others can also use it to get container data from FileMaker, here it is:

/* STEP 1. create a cookie file /
$ckfile = tempnam("/tmp", "CURLCOOKIE");
/ STEP 2. visit the container URL to set the cookie */
$ch = curl_init($imageURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec($ch);

/* STEP 3. visit container URL again /
$ch = curl_init($imageURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $ckfile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
/ STEP 4. process the image data as need it */
$imageData = base64_encode($output);

Once again thanks!

I get the following error when I try to fetch the data in a portal (with the FM18 release):

ErrorException (E_ERROR)
Trying to get property 'portalDataInfo' of non-object

I tried it like this: $record->nameoftheportal
This worked with the FM17 version. The portal and the data exists in $record.

Any idea?

Hi,

In the documentation for the function FileMakerLayout::query() ,the parameter $portal is described like this:

The array of the portal's object names. The query result is going to contain portals specified in this parameter. If you want to include all portals, set it null or omit it. Simple case is array('portal1', portal2'), and just includes two portals named 'portal1' and 'portal2' in the query result. If you set the range of records to a portal, you have to build associated array as like: array('portal1' => array('offset'=>1,'range'=>5), 'portal2' => null). The record 1 to 5 of portal1 include the query result, and also all records in portal2 do.

I tried using array('portal1' => array('offset'=>1,'range'=>5)), but I got a "missing array key" error. Looking at the code, it seems to expect something like this: array('portal1' => array('offset'=>1,'limit'=>5)).

However, FileMaker server does not like the request with portal parameters anyway. I will test that some more. Error message from FileMaker Server:
Error Code: 960, Error Message: Unknown parameter(s): _limit.portal1,_offset.portal1.

Hello,

When iterating over portal records, I discovered that calling the toArray() method on a portal record returns an empty array.

In FileMakerRelation.php line 316 etc, the switch statement has a case for 'OK', 'PORTAL', and 'RECORD'. However my portal record's result property is 'PORTALRECORD'. So there is no matching case and the default value is returned by this method.

Simple pseudo code:
//$record is a FileMakerRelation where the result is RECORD
foreach ($record->getPortalNames() as $portalName) {
foreach ($record->$portalName as $portalRecord) {
$portalRecordArray = $portalRecord->toArray();
print_r($portalRecordArray);
}
}

Expected a dump of the values in each portal record, got empty arrays.

Thank you for this nice library!

Hi, I have the following error when I try $result = $fmdb->layoutname->query(); :

ErrorNumber: 35

Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to xx.xx.com:443

Any ideas?

Hi,
Can you connect to files hosted on FileMaker Cloud with your FMDataApi?

Thank

Frank

Is it possible to send multiple script parameters in "script.param", as in a array?

When passing a limit and/or offset on a related portal the filemaker server responds with an error.

For example:
$filemaker->layout('layout')->query([['id' => 1]], null, 0, 0, ['related_portal' => ['limit' => 5, 'offset' => 0]);

The expected result is a response with a limited amount of portal records. This however results in a error:

{
    "messages": [
        {
            "message": "Unknown parameter(s): _limit.related_portal",
            "code": "960"
        }
    ],
    "response": {}
}

When using toArray method defined in https://github.com/msyk/FMDataAPI/blob/master/src/Supporting/FileMakerRelation.php getting return type error.

This is possibly due to on line number 310, 315, 320 when encoding and decoding the object, json_decode function is missing second parameter true. Second parameter set to true assure that json_decode always return an array.

Thanks.

Current code in the method getModId():

case "RECORD":
case "PORTALRECORD":
    if (isset($this->data) && isset($this->data->modId)) {
        $value = $this->data->recordId;
    }
    break;

$value = $this->data->recordId; should probably be changed to $value = $this->data->modId;

Perhaps I'm using this the wrong way, but I called getPortalNames() after calling getFirstRecord(), and received an error. That is because getNumberedRecord() changes the structure of the internal $data property.

What I did (leaving out the setup code):

`
$records = $fmdb->$layout->query($conditions, null, 1, 1);

$record = $records->getFirstRecord();

$portalNames = $record->getPortalNames(); //error
`

The error message: property_exists(): Argument #1 ($object_or_class) must be of type object|string, array given
File: inter-mediator/fmdataapi/src/Supporting/FileMakerRelation.php
Line: 339

One way to address this would be to change lines 257-259 from this:

$value = new FileMakerRelation( $this->data[$num], $dataInfo, ($this->result == "PORTAL") ? "PORTALRECORD" : "RECORD", $this->errorCode, $this->portalName, $this->restAPI);

into this (by surrounding the first parameter value with []):

$value = new FileMakerRelation( [$this->data[$num]], $dataInfo, ($this->result == "PORTAL") ? "PORTALRECORD" : "RECORD", $this->errorCode, $this->portalName, $this->restAPI);

That way, the array structure of the returned FileMakerRelation object stays the same as before.
