getRecords error

[cuitw]

I have yet another question that I can't seem to figure out the reason/cause.

In a php file I simply created the following codes:

<?php
session_start();
define('FM_HOST', '**Hidden**');
define('FM_FILE', '**Hidden**');
define('FM_USER', '**Hidden**');
define('FM_PASS', '**Hidden**');
ini_set("include_path", ".:/Library/WebServer/Documents/");
include ('FileMaker.php');
require_once('FileMaker.php');
error_reporting(0);
ini_set('display_errors', '0');
$ttstemp = $_POST['prefix'].'-'.$_POST['noyear'].$_POST['nomonth'];
$fm = new FileMaker(FM_FILE, FM_HOST, FM_USER, FM_PASS);
if (isset($_SESSION['record']) && $_SESSION['record'] !="") {
  $request = $fm->newAddCommand('form_api');
  $request->setField('no_ref', $ttstemp );
  $request->setField('PO', $_POST['po']);
  $result = $request->execute();
  $records = $result->getRecords();
  $found = $result->getFoundSetCount();
  $_SESSION['ent'] = $records[0]->getRecordId();

For some reasons if I disable the line "$request->setField('no_ref', $ttstemp );" it works perfectly but if I remove the comment and let it run it returns the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method FileMaker_Error::getRecords() in /Library/WebServer/Documents/itrack/updatesave.php on line 66

line 66 is $records = $result->getRecords();

I have no idea what is happening... What is so wrong about "$request->setField('no_ref', $ttstemp );"............

Well, first of all, I'd try reflecting back $ttstemp to see that it's properly populated

I think the use of single quotes might cause an issue, but I'm not sure...

Code:

$ttstemp = $_POST['prefix'].'-'.$_POST['noyear'].$_POST['nomonth'];
echo $ttstemp;

I'd write it like this, but that's only habit rather than anything I can really think of...

Code:

$ttstemp = $_POST['prefix']."-".$_POST['noyear'].$_POST['nomonth'];
echo $ttstemp;

Thank you for your response, webko. Your are helpful as always!

I changed the single quotes but it is still the same.

The data echoed is exactly what I wanted. FYI it is something like AK-1108.

[cuitw]

hmmm... there is a field that uses the field no_ref for an autoenter calculation. Do you think this would pose any problem?

[webko]

I don't use the API, but aren't you asking for a Add, but doing a Find?

[cuitw]

Actually no, if I disable this line the script works just fine. It create records and enter data as expected. I just do not know why if I let this line run it ruins the whole script...

[cuitw]

I have given up. Now I just removed the line and use a newEditCommand to set the field AFTER the record is created. It works fine now. Thanks again for your help!
