Author Topic: Help using OO version of v3 API? (Read 236 times)

I have been hunting through the Examples and various API Documentation, and find references to using the API in a PHP OO manner.

However, I guess that I am slow, because either the pieces of code that I have read are syntactically correct, or don't tell the whole story.

The Examples seem to be exclusively Procedural, so they are no help, and the API Explorer is the same.

Does anybody have any suggestions, pointing me at working examples of OO API code?

Specifically, I tried $contact = $api->Contact->Get( $params ), and I get a boolean result ( TRUE ), but no actual data. $api->count returns 1, so I think that there should be data somewhere, but I don't know where to look for it.

Thanks,
Brian

OK, further experimentation shows that $api->result carries the result.

Then, reading the class.api.php file, I see that if I do:

foreach ( $api->values as $v ), I get all of the values of the Contact object in $v for each record returned.
