[support] View with default argument does not display when using PHP

[Roy R]

Hi Shai
Whats the alternative?
Actually I get the same results when I call the view directly.
So the display Page's path is "contrib/my"  ( no arguments), and
typing "http://localhost/contrib/my"  gives the following:

Membership #   Name     Uid
M1019              SGOCI      1

This is the result of the first query, not the result of the second.
The SQL statement in the preview mode is correct as far as I can tell.
So it seems this is a display issue when View arguments are supplied
programatically. The view->execute() statement in my PHP code seems to
be having some undesired effects, because if I replace the php code
with just

return 'M1019';

it works.

Any clues?

Thanks!
Roy
