[Developers] PHP Integration Problems

[Chris Mahon]

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply. Starting to make more sense, I can't see how I would
use games_on_this_platform then? I.E. what can I do with it? My query was
the same as on the Query Builder/Editor which did return results so it was
odd that PHP did not. Anyway, I've made good progress and now have results
coming back!

One quick question though. I am adding a limit to my query, above the
default 100. However when I do this it does not return results for my query.
If I take the limit out, I get results. Any ideas? Is there a way of getting
it to return ALL matches without limit?

Query is now as follows:

$q2 = array(array("/common/topic/image" => array(array("optional" => true,
"id" => null)),
 "type" => "/cvg/computer_videogame",
 "name" => null,
 "id" => null,
 "sort" => "name",
 "release_date" => array(),
 "cvg_genre" => array(),
 "versions" => array("platform" => array("id" => null, "name" => null,
"name~=" => "Xbox 360")),
 "limit" => 150
));

Cheers,
Chris
