[FX.php List] [OFF] Think back to OS 9...

[Dale Bengston]

Yeah, I forgot about the PHP part. I never used FX with OS9, so I  
have no idea how you'd implement PHP. I've only run FMU6 on OS X  
installations, with Apache. In fact, I still have way too many  
clients using FX with FMU6.

PS I think it was FileMaker that bailed on WebStar, not the other way  
around. FMI went with Apache and IIS as supported platforms. It  
didn't help matters that WebStar became a 4D product.
