[FX.php List] Odd problem with POST values

[Bob Patin]

OK, so here's the latest:

I made a copy of the form page and the processing page, made a simple DB with her table in it, put all of this on my pair of servers here in my network.

Same thing happened to me.

So then I took a newer FX folder from another site (I had copied hers over to my server), and it worked fine with as many as 2000 characters. Wrote to Filemaker perfectly.

So tomorrow morning we're going to put up a fresh FX folder on her server and see what happens.

I wonder if this was something that was fixed along the way in FX, and she's just had an older FX folder all this time. I've been working for her for at least 5 years, and she had another consultant before me who probably put the original FX folder on her machine.

So it's not PHP choking, it was FX...

What's happening is, your page is processing the results variable assuming it's an array. Since the FX call is failing, you are trying (probably with foreach) to treat an object as an array and PHP is throwing that error.
