[FX.php List] Export to MySQL

[Derrick Fogle]

I was doing this for my previous job; FX.php and MySQL database calls  
can coexist in PHP without a problem, but... I don't have any code  
for you. I do have a question though; if you're using PHP to get the  
data out of the old database, why not use FX.php to put the data  
directly into FM8 without going through the MySQL database and and  
ODBC import? FX.php shouldn't conflict with any other database  
connections you use in PHP.
