[FX.php List] need info on perceived and actual strengths andweaknesses of using PHP with FileMaker to build dynamic web sites

[John Phillip Barclay]

I did a proposal for a recent project that couldn't find any suitable
developers in its first RFP.  I believe the resason they couldn't find
developers was the pool of developers who knew Lasso or FMP/XML AND
Filemaker was relatively small. In our proposal, one of the reasons I
gave for going with PHP was that they would have an easier time finding
people to upgrade and maitain the website in the future.  

As far as a developers interest, I believe PHP is a much more versatile
skill to develop that Lasso, CDML, or Filemaker custom xml/xslt.

Hello:

I'm trying to find out the strengths and weaknesses of using PHP with
FileMaker to build dynamic web sites.

What are the things that bug you about using PHP with FileMaker?   
What do you like?

What are the things that non-developers/clients think are the strenghts?
The weaknesses?

I'm trying to gather as much information as possible by next Tuesday
(4/18/06) so any information you can provide will be greatly
appreciated.

If this is the wrong forum for these questions, I apologize.


Thanks in advance.
