[FX.php List] FMSA & container fields

[Steve Winter]

Hi Kevin,

First off I need to say that no I have never tried to do this, but as I
understand it, that's what image_proxy.php which comes in the latest
versions of FX.php is for... 

In the sample file detail.php one can find;

  include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/FX/image_proxy.php");

     // This file allows proxying of images from a FileMaker DB
     // allowing you to keep your DB behind the firewall.

  $BookQuery = new FX($serverIP, $webCompanionPort, $dataSourceType);

  $BookQuery->SetDBData($bookListFile, "Detail_View");
  $BookQuery->SetDBUserPass ($webUN, $webPW);
  $BookQuery->AddDBParam('-recid', $_GET['ID']);
  $query = $_GET['query'];
  $BookData = $BookQuery->FMFind();
  $currentKey = key($BookData['data']);

Then later;

  <img src="image_proxy.php?FXimage=<?php echo
vignereEncryptURL($BookData['data'][$currentKey]['cover_art'][0]); ?>">

Hopefully this will help...

Best of luck..
Steve

Hi all,

We are in the preparatory phase of an impending migration to FM 8 (from 5.5
Server / v6 clients). During testing so far I haven't been able to coax the
WPE to provide me with any images stored in a container field. Perusing
print_r($ReturnedData) tells me that a reference for the container field is
being returned, looking something like this:

/fmi/xml/cnt/data.jpg?-db=testdb.fp7&-lay=Admin&-recid=1&-field=image(1)

And when I populate the HTML img source attribute with
$ReturnedData['data'][$key]['image'][0], it does indeed print the above
reference into the source code. However, I'm still getting no images
displayed. When I try requesting an image from the db directly via the link
[http://serverIP/fmi/xml/cnt/data.jpg?-db=testdb.fp7&-lay=Admin&-recid=1&-fi
eld=image(1)], the fmi cgi engine returns a 404, saying it can't find file
/fmi/xml/cnt/data.jpg.

Needless to say, I'm getting increasingly frustrated with no signs of a
resolution. Has anyone else managed to use FX with FM8 to display images on
a web page? (Just to clarify, the images are stored in the database, not
just a reference to them.)

Thanks,
Kevin
