Re: PHP and RedBack COM objects

I checked it out a bit last night, since I don't own a license for RedBack (no 
offense :)) I tried checking the online manuals.  Didn't see too much that 
looked useful.  AFAIK the objects were supposed to be returning strings for the 
Value call, but I'm thinking that I somehow missed something and Value is just 
returning objects instead.  Not sure what kind (again, I don't have a library to 
test) but my best guess is they're VARIANTs.

When you do figure out the answer to your problem, please post it here.  There 
aren't many PHPers that use RedBack, but your solution may really help those in 
need.

.ini file that pairs with the COM object.

Here you go:

<?

//Response.Expires = 0

ini_set("max_execution_time","0");

error_reporting(0);

//' This function demonstrates how to extract values from a multivalued 
field

function ExtractMultiValues($redField)

{

    $strValue = "";

    echo $redFiled->Count . " ";

minor typo:
      echo $redField->Count . " ";

    if ($redField->Count > 1){

        for($count=1;$count <= $redField->Count;$count++)

            {

            if (strlen(trim($strValue)) > 0)

                $strValue = $strValue . $redField->Value($count-1) . 

test Value here and see if it's an object that you get.  All of your strings 
below are sent through this function so this *has* to be the problem.

"<br>";
            else
                $strValue = $redField->Value($count-1) . "<br>";
            }
        }
    else
        $strValue = $redField->Value(0);

it would also be interesting to test this and make sure this gives you what you 
want as well (string?)

    return $strValue;
}
