GetError as code, not text

[Gary Hoffman]

I have a number of solutions in FX, now trying the Filemaker PHP API. I'd like to test the find result for the error code that indicates "No records match request."

The method getErrorString() and getMessage() both give me a text string. I know there's a numeric code hidden in there somewhere, but I don't see a method to retrieve it.

I could do this easily in FX, why not in PHP API?

Whoa, I just figured it out. There's an undocumented method, getCode(), that yields the error code from the result if it's an error. So you still need to test for error as follows:

if(Filemaker::isError($result)) {

  echo "
Error Code: ".$result->getCode(). "";

  echo "
Error Message: ".$result->getMessage(). "";

}

Thanks to Jonathan Stark for the clues that lead me to this answer. http://jonathanstark.com/filemaker-api-for-php-documentation/FileMaker/FME.html

Add this to your cheat sheets.
