release and includes the following changes:

* An updated version of FX Parser by Lance Hallberg.  (Thanks Lance!)

nearly 20,000 times.

Using PHP to serve your FileMaker data has a number of advantages:
- PHP is free and cross-platform
- Numerous, powerful, and widely varied functions
- Excellent on-line Documentation (see www.php.net/manual/en/)
- Numerous books on the subject
- PHP is fast

FileMaker Pro and FX.php, and this latest release is a tribute to that 
community.  Thanks and enjoy!
