WireArray problem/question

[bitmatix]

Hi there,

I'm trying to do the following:

$array = new WireArray();
$array->set('test',123);

but I always get an error:

Error Exception: Item 'test' set to WireArray is not an allowed type

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot!

Wire.array only take obje t of type Wire. 123 is number.not wire

use.a reaglar php array insteade

That's correct. Just to reiterate what WIllyC was trying to communicate -- WireArray is an Array meant to store Wire objects. If you need to store something else, then regular PHP array is your best bet.

Thank you guys, for your fast replies.

What I'm trying to do is the following:

I'm getting some data from an external webservice and I'm trying to "convert" it to a WireArray (maybe something else), to have the ability to search in this data, without storing the data/items as pages.

What I want to have, is the ability to search in the data of the webservice as described in the "Arrays" section of the API documentation.

I landed here from a somewhat related issue I was having. The API now supports strings, objects, ints and arrays as valid.
