RE: [PHP-DB] Filemaker w/PHP on Linux?

Jason, To my knowledge there is no Linux ODBC driver for Filemaker. One architectural workaround is to 'piggyback' a connection from your Linux box onto the Filemaker driver. OpenLink's Multi-Tier driver will do this, but you will need a third tier box in the middle. e.g. <Linux, iODBC and MT Client ---> <Win32, MT Server component,odbc_mv agent to Filemaker native driver DSN ---> <Mac OS, Filemaker Pro db> Note: I imagine Filemaker has an ODBC driver for Mac OS X, or will very soon as there is a preview of Filemaker on OS X. If this is the case OS X will eliminate the need for the Win32 box, as you can perform your 'piggyback' directly on the Mac OS X / Filemaker box.
