Methods

static method getAPIVersion (line 116)

Returns the version of the FileMaker API for PHP.

return: API version.

static string getAPIVersion ()

static method getMinServerVersion (line 127)

Returns the minimum version of FileMaker Server that this API works with.

return: Minimum FileMaker Server version.

static string getMinServerVersion ()

static method isError (line 105)

Tests whether a variable is a FileMaker API Error.

return: TRUE, if the variable is a FileMaker_Error object.

static boolean isError (mixed $variable)

mixed $variable: Variable to test.

Constructor FileMaker (line 150)

FileMaker object constructor.

If you want to use the constructor without specifying all the parameters, pass in NULL for the parameters you want to omit. For example, to specify only the database name, username, and password, but omit the hostspec, call the constructor as follows:

new FileMaker('DatabaseName', NULL, 'username', 'password');

FileMaker FileMaker ([string $database = NULL], [string $hostspec = NULL], [string $username = NULL], [string $password = NULL])

string $database: Name of the database to connect to.
string $hostspec: Hostspec of web server in FileMaker Server deployment. Defaults to http://localhost, if set to NULL.
string $username: Account name to log into database.
string $password: Password for account.

createRecord (line 357)

Creates a new FileMaker_Record object.

This method does not save the new record to the database. The record is not created on the Database Server until you call this record's commit() method. You must specify a layout name, and you can optionally specify an array of field values. Individual field values can also be set in the new record object.

return: New Record object.

FileMaker_Record &createRecord (string $layout, [array $fieldValues = array()])

string $layout: Layout to create a new record for.
array $fieldValues: Initial values for the new record's fields.

getContainerData (line 447)

Returns the data for the specified container field.

Pass in a URL string that represents the file path for the container field contents. For example, get the image data from a container field named 'Cover Image'. For a FileMaker_Record object named $record, URL-encode the path returned by the getField() method. For example:

<IMG src="img.php?-url=<?php echo urlencode($record->getField('Cover Image')); ?>">

Then as shown below in a line from img.php, pass the URL into getContainerData() for the FileMaker object named $fm:

echo $fm->getContainerData($_GET['-url']);

return: Raw field data.

string getContainerData (string $url)

string $url: URL of the container field contents to get.

getLayout (line 384)
