Error message does not appear.

[Brian Paquin]

Using FileMaker Server 11 for a Users database and I have setup a website (using PHP) for people to search the database. Searches (and results) are working properly, but I can't get an error message when no results are found. When this happens, I get the top part of the web page, but then nothing else (the page has a mix of PHP and HTML)...

 

Ideas?

$result = $findCommand->execute();

$records = $result->getRecords();

$unitvalues = $layout->getValueListTwoFields('UnitSubUnit');

(more code to display search results - a table for the results and then a footer)

Change this portion of your code:

 

#Check for an error

$NoneFoundMsg = '';

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

 if $result->code != 401{ 

echo "<p>Error: " . $result->getMessage() . "</p>";

  exit;

} else {  //code 401 is no records found

$NoneFoundMsg = 'No records found';

}

 

You will have to account for !empty($NoneFoundMsg) when you are displaying your results.
