Re: [PHP] Anyone connect to a FileMaker DB?

[Brent Baisley]

You want to look into fxphp. Its shareware or freeware plug-in, I 
forget. I've downloaded it and read the instructions, but haven't 
played with it. It hasn't been tested with FM v4.1, which I am still 
using. Accessing FileMaker is kind of convoluted because of all the 
layers you have to go through in FileMaker. But once you extract the db 
access out into a function, it should be much easier. Then you just 
need to change the function to change the backend database.

I haven't decided yet if I'm go to just do everything over in PHP/MySQL 
or upgrade to FM 6 first and transition from there.
