[FX.php List] Globals and FileMaker 7

[Stephen Knight 1-800-353-7950]

I spoke with Chris Hansen, he said that the reason FileMaker reverts back to the previous value in the Globals, or does not save the changes, is because Globals are session specific.  The XML session last only as long as the query-once this closes it reverts back to the original state.  Chris said that you need to store the global in a PHP session instead.  I can grab the global and display it fine...tis the ability to edit that is lacking :)  So. I'm not sure how to set this up.

  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!

  It seems modifying the globals as a client (whether you're remote using FMP or XML (FX)), changes will never display via FX until they're made locally and closed/opened again.

  I'm looking for the same help.

    Thank you Gjermund :)

    I understand how to store values as sessions, however it is not clear how
    this translates into the ability to edit a global field in the database.
    What needs to be done to allow editing of a field with global storage? With
    FileMaker 7?

    <?
    session_start(); // remember this line in order to hold on to your
    session!
    $_SESSION['mySession']['accountID'] =
    $result['data'][$currentKey]['accountID'][0];
    ?>

    <?
    session_start(); // remember this line in order to hold on to your
    session!
    echo $_SESSION['mySession']['accountID'];
    ?>

      Wesley Miller has asked that I post this to the list:

      **I have a working fx.php/FileMaker 7 solutions which is connected and
      queries correctly. I have been able to edit a few fields in the
      database,
      but have been unable to edit a global field.

      Is there a way to edit a global field with FX.php?**

      I realize that you should store a global value as a PHP session, does
      anyone
      have an example of this?
