I had some code that worked fine for several weeks, and then yesterday
it stopped working. I'm not sure what I did. Nor can I make out why it
isn't working. I'm running a query that should return 3 items from the
database. I then get a count of the return, which correctly tells me
that I've got 3 items. I then go into a for loop which I expect to
loop 3 times and print out the 3 items. Here is where things get
strange: it loops 3 times and prints out the same item all 3 times.
More so, the 2nd and 3rd time it complains that it is not getting an
array (meaning it should have nothing to print, yet it prints. If
anyone can see the error I've made, I'd be damned grateful
inside a function called listAll, I've got this:
// 12-05-03 - I originally used the "GetAllOfType" query, but now I
realize I only
// need ids, so instead we'll use the GetAllOfTypeJustIds
$selectObject = & $controllerForAll->getObject("McSelect");
$selectObject->setQueryObject("GetAllOfTypeJustIds");
$selectObject->setInfoToBeSought($type);
$selectObject->getInfo();
$howMany = $selectObject->getCountOfReturn();
for ($i=0; $i < $howMany; $i++) {
$row = null;
$row = $selectObject->getRowAsArrayWithStringIndex();
if (is_array($row)) {
extract($row);
$arrangementObject->setControlPanelCbId($cbId);
$controllerForAll->getArrangement($arrangement);
} else {
$r = $i + 1;
$resultsObject->addToErrorResults("In the function listAll(), we
expect to print out $howMany items, yet for some reason on attempt $r
we did not get an array back from the data as an array.");
}
}
Inside of the select object, I've got this:

As I say, this was working perfectly for weeks (since November) but
now it is not. I anyone sees what mistake I made, I'd be grateful for
the feedback.
