Hi all

I thought this was interesting.  It's from a thread on the "Web"  
forum of FMI's TechTalk:

> I have been testing the FileMaker PHP API for a while now and have  
> reported a (what I call) major flaw in the API.  When you do a  
> search using the API FileMaker will return each and every field  
> attributes not once in a header but for each and every record in  
> your search and for each and every portal row in your found search.  
> I had a database with 20 fields and one portal with 4 fields and  
> found 280 records and the returning data was 10mbs which killed my  
> clients machine... <snip /> I had to switch to FXPHP and that fixed  
> the problem
