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

[Joel Shapiro]

(apologies for straying from thread topic)

Hi Adam

I'm not sure if this would be helpful or relevant in your solution,  
but FYI, by using a 'separation model' in FileMaker 7/8, you can have  
a separate 'web' .fp7 file that contains no data (nor tables) and  
references only the tables in your data file that you want to publish  
to the web.  This way, you can just publish the web file, and not the  
"entire database"

Best,
-Joel
