If this is the code you are using (and I've added the missing close
parenthesis), then the fact that you are getting a 200 back (and a new
ID) means that you have successfully created a new clone. Otherwise,
you should be getting a 500 or 404 back.
//create_clone.php
$original = $_POST['original'];
if($master = MyActiveRecord::FindById('originals',$original)){
$data = get_object_vars($original);
array_shift($data); //get rid of the ID
$new = MyActiveRecord::Create('clones',$data);
$new->save();
if(false === $new->get_errors()){
header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
//this is the part you need:
print 'item_' . $new->id;
}else{
header('HTTP/1.0 500 Server Error',true,500);
exit;
}
}else{
header('HTTP/1.0 404 Missing',true,404);
}
Visit your test page with Firefox and with the Console tab of Firebug
open. Make sure Firebug is set to show XHR transactions. You should be
able to observe the request to create_clone, and see the reply from
the server. The reply should be the new ID of your clone. If it isn't,
then you have more debugging to do.
Things to check here:
* Have you included/required the library (MyActiveRecord) in this
script, and have you defined the constants it needs (MySQL address and
credentials, also known as a DSN).
* Have you got a MySQL table called clones?
* Have you enabled error reporting on your server for your test pages,
so you can see the PHP errors as they whiz by?
* Have you ordered that fat book I recommended?
Debugging PHP is like playing Whack-a-Mole. You fix one thing, and
another pops up. You iterate, in other, more dainty words.
