[Chameleon] MLT.php - bug or correct code?

[McGraw, Joanne]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the response. This isn't the problem, though. My columns are named EN_CA and FR_CA. This is proven by simply changing the array key to uppercase in the mlt object's loadresource(). That change alone results in that dBase file working as is.

Are you aware of any reasons why that particular array key isn't uppercase in that function? All the other ones around it that seem to be doing the same thing are.

Cheers,
jtm

Hi Joanne,

Unfortunately you are encountering a few "quirks" in the MLTdBASE class and
how it interacts with Chameleon.  

My guess is that it is the structure of your dbase file that might be the
problem.  The columns should be called "EN_CA" and "FR_CA" etc.  Note the
caps and underscore.  This is part of the reason why the current development
version of Chameleon has moved to a better MLT system.

Let me know if that fixes the problem.

Cheers,
Bill
