[FX.php List] FX.php compatibility with FMS 9.0

[Dale Bengston]

Considering the progression...
	-FileMaker 4.1, where you could run your entire web site on FMP client
	-FileMaker Unlimited (5.5/6.0), a special $1000 version of client  
was needed to accept more than 10 connections
	-FMSA with its true server requirements and $2500 price tag for web  
support

...it would appear that FMI is adjusting to web development obviating  
the need for client licenses, and the corresponding revenue drain. I  
would be very surprised if FMI is going to go back to letting us  
deploy web-based sites on FMP client software. Besides, I hated the  
days of FMU, an app with a UI, running on a live server. Nothing but  
trouble.

Any way, perhaps there will be a way to develop using the PHP API (or  
potentially FX.php) on FMP client, but license restrictions would  
prevent public deployment of such a system without FMSA. I would be  
all for this; it would make working on FMP sites on airplanes much  
easier!
