I'm having a problem where the result of the find commands I execute using the PHP API returns just one record over and over again. This has happened both in the tutorial questionnaire and in my own custom web application. For example, the questionnaire asks "On a scale from 1 to 5, how much did you learn from this tutorial?" The page provides 5 radio buttons to choose from, but they are all labeled 5. Similarly, when I query use my web application to query a database of publications by title, the result returned is the information for the same publication repeatedly.

Here's a block of code:

$find_command = $fm->newFindCommand('Info for website');

$find_command->addFindCriterion('Title', "Listening Effectively");

$result = $find_command->execute();

var_dump($result)

The var_dump gives a birds nest of output, which I've pasted part of below in case it's more illuminating to you than it has been to me, but as you'll see it repeatedly prints info on the German version of the book even though I believe the query should find the book in each of the five languages in which it is published. Is there bug here, or is it something I don't understand? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jesse

PS. In order to fit within length limits, I deleted most of the var_dump output, so it doesn't illustrate the repeated finding of 1 record as clearly anymore, but I hope it's enough information to give a sense of what's going on.

Bump

Im having the exact same problem.

[bump]

having the same problem as well. issuing the same search from a ruby gem seems to return what i'm expecting ... through the php api, i get the same record over and over for as many times as there are expected results. going to take a look at the api code...
