[FX.php List] Where are my value lists...?

[Steve Winter]

Hi Joel,

Thanks for that... still seems pretty weird that I have to make a second
query to the exact same layout, especially since the returned array from the
previous find includes an empty node called 'valueLists'... I guess it makes
sense to Chris ;-)

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve

Yep, FMView() is necessary to pull value lists.

 From FXDataFormat.pdf:

___$ReturnedData['valueLists']___________________
print_r($ReturnedData['valueLists']);
print_r($ReturnedData['valueLists']['myValueList']);
echo($ReturnedData['valueLists']['myValueList'][0]);
When an FMView() action is called, any value lists on the layout specified
will be returned in this element of the returned data array.  Please note
that this element is only returned from an FMView() action; you may wish to
perform a separate FMView() to pull the value lists for the layout in your
current search request.  The 'valueLists' section contains two sub-arrays.
The first sub-array uses the value lists' names as indexes, while the second
is numbered from zero.  A typical use might be to step through the desired
value list using php's foreach() contruct.  Please see FXExamples.php for a
complex demonstration of how the contents of this element can be used.
