[FX.php List] Converting from CDML to fxPHP ....what to do with -Token

[DC]

If you are on FMP7 then you just need to learn about Sessions as 
suggested earlier. Tokens suck - there were only 9 and they were so 
cumbersome to use! You are in for a sweet treat because PHP does a great 
job at managing sessions for you. Visit http://www.php.net and search on 
session.

If you are still using FMP6 and you want to just get up and running with 
PHP and FX.php as quickly as possible, you can just use PHP to call your 
old CDML templates like so:

<?php

$old_CDML_output = file_get_contents(
"http://domain:fmpport/FMPro?-db=db.fp5&-format=CDMLfile.html&-lay=weblayout&fieldname=searchstring&-max=1&-find");

echo $old_CDML_output;

?>

Then, bit by bit as you learn more PHP you can rebuild the CDML in 
another templating language - I recommend using Smarty ( 
http://smarty.php.net ). I've written a plugin for Smarty that will help 
you migrate from CDML to pure PHP. It's linked off of this page:
