Can't use Data manipulation API

Can't use Data manipulation API

Hello. I can't understand what I do wrong.
I've created file "test.php" in moodle/testfolder:

<?php
// require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/config.php';

function my_function() {
      global $DB;
      $record = $DB->get_record('user', array('id' => 2));
      var_dump($record);
}

my_function();
?>

But when I open http://localhost/testfolder/test.php nothing happend. HTTP ERROR 500.
I've tried with require_once or without - same.

Please help.

Because the require for config.php is commented out? You definitely need to include config.php.

What caused the error 500? The full story should be in your web server's error log.

  • You're missing a closing bracket on the first line.
  • Uncomment the first line

I'll suggest using a code editor or IDE that helps with spotting basic problems.
