[FX.php List] Search problems

[Kevin Futter]

Hi all,

I'm moving some more simple databases from v6 to v8, and have come across
another problem. The db conversion went fine, and after the traumas of my
first go-round, web access is also fine.

However, one of my searches is now returning unreliable results. I've got a
book database which I query for either fiction or non-fiction titles via a
GET request, using the same page template to display the results. The
relevant code looks something like this:

$type = $_GET['type'];
$groupSize = 10;
$FMQuery = new FX($serverIP, $webCompanionPort, "FMPro7");
$FMQuery->SetDBData("Library_Books.fp7", "web", $groupSize);
$FMQuery->AddDBParam("Category", $type, "eq");
$FMQuery->AddSortParam("Date", "descend");
$ReturnedData = $FMQuery->FMFind();

The problem is that if $type == "Non-Fiction", the results are OK; if $type
== "Fiction", it returns a mix of fiction and non-fiction results, even
though I'm forcing "eq" for the operator. Has this syntax changed since
version 6? Is the fact that Non-Fiction contains a hyphen a problem? (I'm
sure it worked fine with v6, though it's possible that it had this issue
then too and I just never noticed it.)

Anyway, all help greatly appreciated!
