[FX.php List] How do I specify an "Exactly Equal To" search?

[Steve Winter]

Although the reference below to the PHP operators is correct, it's actually irrelevant to Malcolm's question (as FileMaker doesn't know what === means…. ;-)

Jon's original answer is quite correct because this isn't a PHP comparison which is being run but an FMP one… you can use any/all of the 'usual' FMP comparison operators by prepending them (almost) as Jon showed. The correct syntax for fx.php is

	$find->AddDBParam('_kf_userID',"==".$userID);

Which is the same as performing the == find in FM client…

Cheers
Steve

> Or just <http://php.net> and search for 'comparison operators'. Lot's of lovely information on the entire site. I tend to download the PHP manual (for off internet research) and then I always have it. Great reading & if you include the comments, you get some more helpful examples. Periodically update the download for the latest changes.
