[FX.php List] "No Action Taken" on query

[Tim 'Webko' Booth]

The one I generally use just for testing the first place (so could be
adapted to do other things if used on a cronjob or similar):

<?php

include_once('include/db_config.php'); // DataBase Configuration File.
include_once('include/FX/FX.php'); // FX.php file


//Simple server tests
$_SESSION['serverError'] = ""; // reset server error
//Check if Port 80 works at all
if( !fsockopen ($dbHost, 80, $errno, $errstr, 2) ) {
$_SESSION['serverError'] = "Server not up";
} else {
//Check -dbnames
/* $pageObj = new FX($dbHost,$port,$dbType,$conType);
$pageData = $pageObj->DoFXAction('view_database_names');*/
//Check if a findany to an available table works
$pageObj=new FX($dbHost,$port,$dbType,$conType);
$pageObj -> setDBPassword($dbPass,$dbUser);
$pageObj -> setDBData($dbName,'LAYOUT', 'all');
$pageData = $pageObj -> FMFindAny();
if (FX::isError($pageData)) {
echo $pageData->getMessage();
echo "<br />";
var_dump($pageData);
}
elseif ($pageData[‘errorCode’] != 0) {
$_SESSION['serverError'] = $pageData['errorCode'];
echo "A FileMaker error occurred ({$pageData[‘errorCode’]})";
}
else {
   var_dump($pageData);
echo "All is well";
}
}
if ($_SESSION['serverError'] != "0") {
echo "Error: ".$_SESSION['serverError'];
}
?>
