Re: PHP and an unsupported DB

I would think that solution is doable, but what is the difference between that and ODBC? ODBC is a liason between the app (PHP) and the DB (FMP). That would be a platform specific solution to PHP's support for FMP if you were to use AppleEvents. Also, how does this all change with OS X? I don't know how bad the ODBC is on OS 9 using the FMP Server, but I am sure ODBC performance will increase significantly with OS X because you will be able to run ODBC for Unix. Maybe you can develop an ODBC solution and by the time your is ready you can delpoy on OS X running Apache/PHP/FMP/ODBC all on the same box. tim_wood wrote: > >If it's a pretty well defined C API it shouldn't be that hard.
