[Mantisbt-soap-dev] Iterating through all issues

[Dirk H. <68...@gm...>]

I want to iterate through all the issues in our Mantis instance, using
the SOAP API. I'm calling mc_project_get_issues, and after lowering
the number of issues per page (with 50 per page it would always throw
an exception on page 4, for some reason), I now get all the issues I
want.

My only problem now: How do I detect the end? It seems that increasing
the page number will only return the same result for the last page
over and over again.

I could check if I've seen these issues before but surely there must
be an easier way? Can I get the total number of issues for a project,
for example?

Code snippet:

for ($p = 1; $p <= 1000; $p++) {
    $issues = $m->mc_project_get_issues($user, $pwd, $project_id, $p, 25);
    if (! is_array($issues)) {
        break;
    }
    // display issues here
}

... and it just goes on and on.

P.S. I didn't know this list existed. It's not listed on
http://www.mantisbt.org/mailinglists.php but only when you follow the
link to the SourceForge Mailing lists.
