[FX.php List] Globals and FileMaker 7

[Michael Layne]

I'm have a similar problem, but I need to modify globals for the entire 
solution.  The only way I can successfully edit globals and have my 
changes show up is to open the database locally with FMP, change the 
globals, and reopen the files in Server.  I wish this was different!

As for PHP sessions...

first, have this at the very beginning of every page:
<?
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private"); //IE 6 Fix
...

then simply assign variables like this:
$_SESSION['id'] = $data['id'][0];

// this is from your $result of an FMFind(), FMNew(), etc...

	$result = $query->FMFind();
	$data = current($result['data']);

then call your variable whenever you need to:
$myid =  $_SESSION['id'];


This is all using FM7SA, Apache 1.3, PHP 4.3, and lovely Mac OS X 10.3.

Hope this helps.
