The biggest problem I had with their documentation was the lack
of fully worked examples, leaving far to much to
guesswork/clairvoyance. And in some places their docs contained
contradictory examples. You shouldn't have to figure out which
1 of N examples is actually the one you should be following!
Grrr. :)</div>

<div>Hi<br>
<br>
I really appreciated your help with this and I did
consider building it in D2007 to test the unicode thing
(as suggested), however I just couldn't justify spending
any more time on it! <br>
<br>
While I am ranting about documentation...<br>
<br>
With regards to the Xero documentation, I didn't find
the stuff I looked at too bad. However I do think if
you are going to provide a PHP framework / class to
access your services, you should at least include a
basic example of how it is used. The web site had some
calls but didn't show the class involved. I had to
trace back through the class source code to find out
what the calls were and what values I should pass. Kind
of defeats the whole purpose of black box programming!<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Rob

<div>I would not rule out the possibility that
Xero have changed something on their end which
has broken the Flow code - it has happened in
the past and as ever with OAuth you get no clues
to go on as to what might be the problem. It
doesn't help that unless things have changed
since I was wrestling with it, the Xero
documentation is not exactly a shining example
of the art (and from a quick look, it doesn't
appear to have changed at all since then).<br>
<br>
If that is the case then using their provided
wrappers is likely the most reliable approach,
if a little "clunky". :)</div>

<div>Hi Alister<br>
<br>
I have my OAuth stuff working!!!!!<br>
<br>
After literally days of trying to get
OAuth going in Delphi I gave up. Instead
I used the Xero provided framework for PHP
and built a PHP interface between my
Delphi app and it. So instead of doing;
<br>
<br>
Delphi app -> Build XML & command
-> OAuth sign -> Http to Xero ->
Response -> Delphi app<br>
<br>
I now have <br>
<br>
Delphi app -> Build XML & command
-> My custom PHP script -> PHP
OAuth sign using Xero framework -> Http
to Xero -> Response -> My Custom PHP
script -> Delphi app.<br>
<br>
Works like a charm. obviously I have had
to provide my own security between the
Delphi app and my custom framework but
that wasn't too difficult. I strogly
suspect the issues I was having were
related to Unicode Delphi and the non
unicode code that I got from Cameron. It
was just too hard to debug as I couldn't
see what my output should be vs what it
was.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Rob
