[FX.php List] Re: FX.php Sessions

[Chris Hansen]

Fred,

I think you missed what I was saying.  As far as I know, there is no 
way to use FileMaker sessions with XML (which is how FX.php access 
FileMaker).  From the Custom Web Publishing Guide:

"For direct XML requests and requests made via XSLT stylesheets that 
don’t use  sessions, the global values expire immediately after the 
request is made."

This is the only reference I've been able to find to XML and sessions, 
and it's quite clear that with XML requests, global values expire 
immediately.  In addition, all references to sessions in the 
documentation are specifically related to XSLT stylesheets.  That said, 
I have no reason to believe the FM sessions are even available when 
using XML.  So if there's a value that needs to be stored on a per user 
basis, you'll need to use PHP sessions to do so.

If you do want to think of the connection between FX.php and FM as a 
session, then think of it as a session that terminates immediately: 
it's as if the user logs in, performs a query, and then logs out.
