[FX.php List] FileMaker 7/8 and PHP WITHOUT FX.php?

[Thomas Myers]

You might want to show them this from the latest readme.

FX.php is a PHP class which parses the XML output by FileMaker Pro's web
companion into a multi-level array which is easily manipulated using PHP. 
Records can be searched, edited, created, and deleted.  In addition, 
a number of
other actions can be performed including script execution, and opening and
closing databases.
