Hi there,

 

I am having the problems in accessing the data stored in container fields using  php.

The containers are not remotely stored. A screenshot is attached showing the database settings for container field. 

I am able to access data stored in other fields from a remote computer using php api. 

But when I try to access the container fields...

For: 

$image=$record->getField('container field');

        $attach=$fm->getContainerData(urlencode($image));

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

            echo "Error: " . $attach->getMessage() . "n";

        }

 

I get:: Error: getContainerData() does not support remote containers 

 

For:

echo $fm->getContainerDataURL(urlencode($record->getField('containerfield')));

 

I get a url in response simlilar to :: http://HOSTIP/fmi/xml/cnt/Untitled.jpg?-db=DATABASENAME&-lay=LAYOUTNAME&-recid=253&-field=containerfield

 

When try to open the url in a browser I get a  xml in return that has ::   <error code="959"/>  

 

My server has php and xml access enabled for the privilege set I am using.

 

Thanks in advance

 

 

 

Hey sujanko, I believe error 959 means "technology is disabled" This would generally imply that simply enabling it would fix the problem; however, this isn't always the case.

 

You should start by rebooting the server. If you still receive error 959, you should try re-deploying the server via the Admin Console. If that doesn't work, you may end up needing to completely uninstall and reinstall FileMaker Server.

 

Unfortunately, I have not found a better way to solve this problem.

 

Cheers!

Now, I opened the xml service in the server and now I get nothing for getContainerData()

 

$image=$record->getField('Attachment');

        $attach=$fm->getContainerData(($image));

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

            echo "Error: " . $attach->getMessage() . "n";

            echo $fm->getContainerDataURL($image);

           exit;

        }

 

        echo 'Attach = '. $attach;

 

While I run the above code for filemaker server installed at my localhost i get image in binary format BUT for server at live i get nothing for output.

Does it have something to do with blocked ports??
