[FX.php List] NEW FMPHP API

[Chris Hansen]

Dave,

Head on over and listen to the related podcast on FileMaker's site.   
The reason I bring this up is that Kevin Nathanson of FileMaker says,  
in essence, if you have code that's working under FX.php, there's no  
reason to rewrite it.  In short, FMI's official take is that the two  
tools coexist just fine -- even on the same server.  In addition, the  
next version of FX.php will include a new tool that will work with  
BOTH FX.php and the FileMaker API for PHP.

That said, I'd encourage folks to try both out.  Right now the API  
has some built in validation support (as Stephen mentioned) as well  
as better support for portals than FX.php.  On the other hand,  
because of it's structure, some things you may do may require  
slightly more complex code.  However, both tools are PHP tools =).   
So what you learn about PHP while working with one, is fully  
transferrable to the other.  As I've stated in the past, 99% of what  
you do with PHP is related to manipulating and displaying data as  
opposed to retrieving it.
