Please visit the FMS Custom Web Publishing Test page to confirm that the server is working properly.

Aussie John, Not sure if the single quotes you are using are "legal." I just tried the code on my local machine and got a syntax error... another source of seeing a black page. To be sure, change all to double quotes. When I did that, the page did run but returned a different error but I'm not running the current PHP API on my local development machine. What do you get? I

Try this: $records = $result->getRecords(); $record = $records[0]; $name = $record->getField("Name"); $color = $record->getField("Favorite Color"); echo $name.’ - ‘. $color;

Aussie John: Based on your code, it SHOULD be blank. You are only echoing a result if there is an error. What do want to do with the found record?

There are slew of them, depending on whether you have a one machine or two machine installation, and what version of FMS we're talking about. See this page to pick your FMS version. https://support.filemaker.com/s/answerview?language=en_US&anum=14402 Hope that helps.

Error 22 in CWP is the catchall for a failed connection between the API and FMS. Although the message mentions username and password as potential causes, the list is much broader than that. For perspective, I wrestle with Error 22 on nearly every new project until all the settings are tweaked. One setting that I don’t believe I saw mentioned...have you opened the required ports on the server firewall?

This is what Custom Web Publishing (CWP) is for using the PHP API. In short, web pages in your main company website can be outfitted with php code to offer the search form you desire, the ability to query your FMP database and return data in the format you desire. Every FMS system since version 7 offers this capability. It provides a “normal” web experience for your end user. That’s the good news. The hurdle of using CWP is mastering the full stack of tools that are involved: HTML, CSS, PHP, the PHP API, Apache/IIS, and probably JavaScript, JQuery, AJAX , BootStrap... and more... too much to ask when you just want to get it done I’ve dedicated myself to CWP since it was introduced by FileMaker. If you contact me directly, I can provide some time and cost estimate. Or, take a look at my website for some examples. www.exit445.com Good Luck! Jonathan

Joost, I don't believe that there is anything to do on FMS or Apache itself. But in php, provide the full LOCAL path to the new pictures folder location. In this example, I'm setting up a DEFINE in the config file to the pictures folder relocated to an external hard drive: define('PICTURES', '/Volumes/Your_External_Hard_Drive_Name/pictures/'); You might need to experiment with the permissions on the pictures folder and/or the hard drive so that fmserver/apache/php can access. BTW...This answer is assuming that you are storing the images directly in a folder and using html/php to retrieve them, versus storing and retrieving them from a FileMaker container.

Tony, This looks like code generated by SiteAssistant...which was a flawed concept from the start. But we won't go there. Going back to the $result you posted, I realized that it's not returning any results. Everything up to the last 5 lines is normal. but the last 5 lines represent arrays (layout, records, etc) and is supposed to be populated with literally hundreds/thousands lines of data. Can't expect the record link functions to work without having data to work with. Is this system online? I can try and resolve from here.

Tony, Looks like you received a valid result from the query. I assume that there was more to the result other than what you posted. Moving forward, what happens after this?

A number of things come to mind: 1) Updating the machine (probably) involves updating to a new php versions and IIS, either of which could be playing a part in the failure. Come back to that later after #2. 2) I would want to know what $result FMP Server is reporting after any query. Try adding print_r($result); exit; after the query to see how FMP is responding.. Hope that helps. Jonathan
