[swx] Remote methods work in the explorer but not when called form custom application

[Pete Hotchkiss]

Hi the guys and girls of the list.
 
I have an interesting/frustrating issue calling custom methods on a SWX
application currently in development. I hoping that a kind person on
this list can shed some light on my problem. I've been using SWX for a
while now, but this one has me a bit stumped. The application in
question works perfectly locally (within the MAMP environment) however
once deployed to the site we're experiencing strange problems.  In short
the result property of the returned event object is always undefined -
unless the remote method simply returns the passed argument.
 
So for example if our remote PHP class is
 
 
class CompatibilityTest
{
    function test1($n1)
    {
        return $n1;
    }
  
    function test2($n1)
    {
        return "Echo: " + $n1;
    }

}
 
If I call the test1 method I get my argument strait back, if I call
test2 I get undefined.
 
What's odd is this only happens when making the calls from my Flash app
- the methods execute perfectly from the service explorer. Furthermore,
any functionality to store passed arguments in a database etc execute
perfectly - its just trying to return anything more complicated than the
passed method argument seems to throw out the gateway.
 
I've tried running the test scripts (in the tests folder) on the host
and I get the following
 
>From all_tests.php

In the past I've had problems with certain hosting environments causing
issues when open_basedir and safe_mode arent switched off. I believe are
off for this host, but I cant tell fully as phpinfo() is disabled on the
host for security reasons. I'm waiting to hear from them on the exact
configuration they have set up for this app.
 
Does anybody have any light to shed on this one - its a puzzler :-)
 
Thanks in advance folks
 
Pete
