[FX.php List] Startup problems

[Jonathan Woodard]

Hi,
	So, I'm just getting started working with FX, because my employer  
wants to migrate some of our web presence from FileMaker's "Lasso"  
language to the more common, robust, PHP.  I am also new to  
Filemaker, which may be the source of some of my woes.

When I try and get my FX object set up to communicate with the  
database, nothing happens...

<code>
	$dataObject = new FX("127.0.0.1" , 80);
	$returnedData = $dataObject->FMDBNames();
	
	print_r($returnedData);
	echo "=================================================";
	print_r($dataObject);
</code>

so i added those print_r statements to try and figure out what was  
up.  (for the $returnedData,) I get an object dump that appears to  
contain a stacktrace.  The root issue seems to be:

fx_error Object ( [error_message_prefix] => [mode] => 1 [level] =>  
1024 [code] => 100 [message] => FX: cURL could not retrieve Post data  
in RetrieveFM7Data(). A bad URL is the most likely reason. [userinfo]  
=> [backtrace] =>
(I can post the backtrace if that would be helpful, but it just runs  
back to the "FMDBNames" call in the above snippet of code.)

I have tried with a number of different IPs, the literal IP we use to  
connect FMPro7 clients to the database, as well as a DNS name of the  
database server, and this 127.0.0.1.  Unfortunately, the existing  
Lasso has no indication of a URL anywhere... (which lead me to try  
this localhost loopback)  Is there some configuration on the  
FileMaker side I've missed?  What else could this error be indicative  
of?

Thanks in advance for any insights on this issue... I guess I'll post  
this to the forum as well, since the mailing list is new (and I'm not  
sure how many people are on the mailing list yet)
