[FX.php List] urlencode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

[Ben Bradley]

Changing the error level does make the error disappear - but I'm still
none the wiser as to why this is actually happening!

The thing I don't understand is there are no variables being passed to
FX.php that are arrays.
And all the data in the FX.php command are all set as strings - not
using variables

Here's the contents of my script around the FX calls...

    // CHANGE ERROR REPORTING LEVEL
    error_reporting( E_ERROR );

    include('FX.php');
    // FMP QUERY TO GET ARRAY OF ALL TAGS
    $fmp_query = new FX('xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', '591', 'FMPro5/6');
    $fmp_query->SetDBData('TAGS', 'WEB', 'All');
    $fmp_query->SetDBPassword('password', 'username');
    $fmp_query->AddDBParam('CATEGORY', 'XREF AMD');
    $fmp_query->AddSortParam('NAME', 'ascend', 1);
    $fmp_result = $fmp_query->FMFind(true, full, false);

    $found_count = $fmp_result['foundCount'];
    $fmp_error_code = $fmp_result['errorCode'];

    $columncounter = 1;

    // LOOP THROUGH RECORDS
    foreach ($fmp_result['data'] as $key => $fmp_row) {

        $tag_id = $fmp_row['ID'];
        $tag_name = $fmp_row['NAME'];
    }


I don't understand how it can be something to do with my data being
passed to FX.php, when the above code works fine when posted on its
own page with nothing else.


Also I've tried looking through FX.php to line 1425 and there doesn't
seem to be a urlencode() function on that line in FX.php


I will continue to search!!


Thanks

Ben

Although this method works, it would encounter problems when trying to include a query string that was too long, or trying to save data into a filemaker database was particularly tricky.
