Performing find gives error 16

[Doug Heestand]

I have the PHP API working with FM9 Server. When I call my FileMaker script from PHP it works great until I get to the "Perform Find" script step. It throws error 16 in the log file and exits without returning a result. The user account has [Full Access] so it isn't a matter of permissions.

Why can't you perform a find from the FileMaker script?

Do you have any reliance on user interaction or dialogs anywhere in that find?

Thanks for the reply.

Nope. The script is fully web compatible (if I check the box in ScriptMaker to indicate web compatibility there are no grey steps). I go to another layout, enter find mode, set a field with the parameter I received from the script, and when it hits "Perform Find" it exits. I've tried not using the paramter from the script and just using a text value and that fails too. I've tried all sorts of variations including just a "Perform Find" where I specified the find request. It crashes there too. I'm just wondering if it's not allowed to do a Perform Find from a script called by PHP? Seems weird to me!
