Json/Rest api problems...

[mark377]

Hi

I am trying to create a flash application that sends a http get request to retrieve information from the faq database. However, i need to be able to get back the faq information in some readable and structured way such as json, etc..

You mention in your documentation that you have a json api to do just this. However, i am unable to get this to work.

when i submit the following (example) using my own page instead of mysite.com, i get no json encoded array back. I am searching by keyword, which brings up a result in the main system, but not using this.

what am i doing wrong?

thanks

Hi,

the call looks okay. You can also test it on our own FAQ:

Hi

Maybe I am not asking the right question, actually what i want to know is how you normally would make such a call using javascript, PHP, etc. How do I get back the question and answer on the screen. What is the easiest way to do that?

Kind Regards

Hi,

ah, okay... this is just a GET request over HTTP... you can do that e.g. with curl, PHP, JavaScript...

if its just a get request - then this should output some information, right? but it does not:

see my page below:

when i do a get request to your page you provided I receive some information. With mine however, I get nothing.


thanks

Hi,

a white page is normally a PHP fatal error. Do you have access to your server logs?

Hi

I currently have error reporting set to E_ALL and Display Errors On in my php.ini.

Other scripts display errors if they have them, but api.php does not.

I am not seeing any error related to this in my server event log.

Hi,

please try to enable the debug output in inc/Init.php as well.

Hi

Hi,

something is broken with your installation because even the version request returns a white page:

For further investigations I would need access to your server.

Sure, I have sent you a PM about it.

Hmm, I tried to re-install with slightly different settings, this time i selected to use mysql instead of mysqli, installed to mysql database with utf-8-bin encoding, and i'm afraid there is still a problem. There were no errors or problems mentioned by the install script during or after the installation.

I am not sure where to look for the problem. If you can, have a look to see if you find the problem - i have sent you my server details. I am sure i will not be the only person having this problem when installing on iis/windows.

Kind Regards
