What common errors can occur when transferring data from Filemaker to SQL using PHP?

One common error when transferring data from Filemaker to SQL using PHP is mismatched data types between the two databases. To solve this, ensure that the data types in Filemaker match the corresponding data types in SQL. Additionally, make sure to handle any special characters or formatting differences that may cause issues during the transfer. 

// Example code snippet to handle data type conversion and special characters

// Assuming $filemakerData is an array of data from Filemaker
foreach ($filemakerData as $row) {
    // Convert data types if needed
    $sqlData = [
        'column1' => (int)$row['column1'],
        'column2' => (string)$row['column2'],
        // Add more columns as needed
    ];

    // Handle special characters
    $sqlData = array_map('mysqli_real_escape_string', $sqlData);

    // Insert data into SQL database
    $query = "INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2) VALUES ('{$sqlData['column1']}', '{$sqlData['column2']}')";
    // Execute the query using mysqli_query or PDO
}
