Hello,

today I tryed, to delet a record with the API.

I've read how the code has to be.

But in the line §cmd->setField the Script fails.

$fm = new FileMaker('DB', 'http://mac.equitania.net', 'user', 'passWord');

$cmd = $fm->newFindCommand('Layout');

$cmd->setField('Kategorie', 'Tests'); *Script fails

$cmd->setField('Aufgabe', 'Test Aufgabe');

$result = $cmd->execute();

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

echo 'ERROR';

die();

}

$records = $result->getRecords();

$recordId = $records[0]->getRecordId();

$cmd = $fm->newDeleteCommand('Layout',$recordId);

$result= $cmd->execute();

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

echo'ERROR2';

die();

}

I suspect that if it is failing at the first set field, then you're not really getting access to the database...

$fm = new FileMaker('DB', 'http://mac.equitania.net', 'user', 'passWord');

I think the db name requires the .fp7 extension, and I'd try just a host name rather than speccing the http protocol, and see if that gets you any further.

Also, it would be more useful if you isError actually gave you the error code back

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

echo 'Error: ' . $result->message . '(' . $result->code . ')';

die();

}

@webko

I dont think thats the problem, because I used the same connection to add a record and read out records.

The error wont be given out, the script fails before this line.

I'll try these thanks,

but when somebody knows how to get a specific record, like I tryed in my code, please tell me.

Please nobody try to delete records like that... it's kind of like seeing an apple in a crate and unpacking the whole crate just to get to the apple you want.

Your line

$cmd->setField('Kategorie', 'Tests'); 

should be

$cmd->addFindCriterion('Kategorie', 'Tests');

Likewise with the line following.
