[FX.php List] testing connection to database

Hi everyone-

What methods are you using to test the connection to the database?


I'm trying this:

                                           
include_once('FX/FX.php');						
include_once('FX/server_data.php');
include_once('FX/FX_Error.php');


$testfind=new FX($serverIP, $webCompanionPort, 'FMPro7');
$testfind->SetDBData('filename.fp7','layoutname');
$testfind->SetDBPassword('xxxxx','xxxxx');
$testfindResult=$testfind->FMFindany();
echo $testfindResult['errorCode'];



We had our FileMaker server go down this morning and I realized that I
didn't have any tests to the server.

I'd ultimately like to say
if($testfindResult['errorCode'] != 0) {

Send email to my mobile phone because there is a critical problem with
the server.

}


But instead of getting an error code, I get:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type FX_Error as array...

Am I missing something simple?
