<FONT FACE="Verdana">No Anita, with FM 5.5 (on MAcOSX) it even can be on
the same machine. You should also post it to the iTools list or think of making
it an option Part of iTools as ectension of php. Most, if not even all mac
migraters use FileMaker.<BR>

</FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Verdana">Chris, this is an interesting piece of
work. I'm copying the iTools list because I think that many iTools
customers are waiting for a FileMakerPro solution on Mac OS X. Is there
any reason why this couldn't be used on that platform with iTools, having
FileMakerPro on another machine?<BR>

FX.php, a free, Open-Source PHP class which makes FileMaker Pro Data accessible
via PHP.</FONT> FileMaker Pro's Ease-of-Use and feature set have earned
it a place in the hearts of many users. PHP is fast, flexible, and able to
access most any database...except FileMaker Pro. Until now.<BR>
<BR>
FX.php is a PHP class which combines the ease of use of FileMaker Pro with the
power of PHP. FX does this by parsing the XML created by FileMaker Pro's
Web Companion into a multi-level array. Once in this form, you can use
PHP's powerful functions to sort, display, and otherwise massage your data.
There are even hooks built into FX to allow it to work with a MySQL
caching class developed by Chris Adams. This cache improves the
performance of your web-based FileMaker solution by approximately two orders of
magnitude. Best of all, you don't have to give up FileMaker Pro's
ease-of-use to get all of this.<BR>
<BR>
Using PHP to serve your FileMaker data has a number of advantages:<BR>
- PHP is free and cross-platform<BR>
- Numerous, powerful, and widely varied functions<BR>
- Excellent on-line Documentation (see www.php.net/manual/en/)<BR>
- Numerous books on the subject<BR>
- PHP is fast<BR>
- PHP is included with WebTen<BR>
<BR>
For more information on FX, please visit www.iViking.org, and follow the link
on the front page. For answers to your questions, send e-mail to
FX@xxxxxxxxxxxx Enjoy!<BR>

note: As far as I can tell, Chris Adams has not yet uploaded the caching class
to his site. There will be a link to the caching class on the FX page as
soon as it is available. (The caching class will be released as free,
open-source software, too.)<BR>
