Comment on how to enable libcurl in wamp by Jason Priem

Thanks! WAMP was using curl just fine, but I was having trouble getting the NetBeans IDE’s PHPUnit support working with curl. Uncommenting the appropriate line in php.ini did the trick.

Hi,

I have an application where I parse the Quickbase results and display them on a search results page. In some cases the quickbase query returns so many records that I’m getting a memory error in PHP. I’d like to set up the results page so that I display a limited number of results and include links at the bottom so user can click to load the next set. I read about options skp-n and num-n but I haven’t had any luck figuring out how to specify those options in the do_query function. I tried the following with no luck:
$results = $quickbase->do_query($queries, ”, ”, ‘6.9.11.13.14.20.31.33.34.81′, ”, ”,’num-500′);

Any suggestions on how I can add the options?

Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi Joshua,

Good work on this API.

Do you have a sample code using the public function add_record but with uploads? (i am using $usexml = true;)
What kind of variable is $upload?
How do upload the file?

$response = $qb->add_record ($fields, $uploads);

Unfortunately, no – you cannot update a users password via the api.

Hello,

I just want to know if there is a possibility to update the password in QuickBase via API ?

Thanks for your answers.

Josh,

I have been using the QB Perl SDK for some time, but now must venture down the PHP path. The below is returning an invalid request, and I am not sure why. My test is to return all the records from a table. It appears that authentication is succeeding, and that the token is behaving correctly. What am I missing? Thanks much!

$quickbase = new QuickBase(‘$username’, ‘$password’, true, ‘$dbid’, ‘$QBToken’);
$queries = array(
array(
‘fid’ => ‘0′,
‘ev’ => ‘ct’,
‘cri’ => ”)
);
$results = $quickbase->do_query($queries, ”, ”, ”);

Don’t forget also that there are other options besides Flex for graphs. There are some really nice PHP graphing libraries that will let you feed it an XML file of your data and will spit out a nice graph.

This could be an alternative to Flex as well if the sandboxing issue is a pain.

Feel free to ping me on google talk if you ever have any other questions: goodespeler@gmail.com

I have signed up for the IPP and definitely think it’s great. However we use QB to manage several aspects of clinical trials for biotechs. Each trial has customized components to it, so the “build once sell to many” concept of the IPP is a bit out of our (read “my”) development experience at the moment. At some point I’d like to build a product that could be sold on the marketplace and then adapted by the user for each trial. For now, though we can copy over apps and change what’s needed.

Flex has been great for building really nice graphs using the QB data. Also, I built an interface for transferring certain records from other systems into QB.

However, I like the idea of using PHP for getting the data in and out of QB for the Flex front end to use. It’s great that you made php wrapper for this. I will try it out today.

Thanks!
