Re: Anyone connect to a FileMaker DB?

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. On Thursday, March 20, 2003, at 03:54 PM, Joshua Groboski wrote:

I know, FileMaker is not a real database. I have taken over some legacy systems and while I am redesigning the system, I need to be able to connect to a FileMaker DB. If you've done it, or know how I can do it, please let me know.
