[FX.php List] Is anyone using FX.php with FMStudio

[Tom Sepper]

Exactly.

This goes along with learning HTML/CSS rather than using a WYSIWYG
editor. While those programs are fine and good, when something needs to
be tweaked, then you're at the program's mercy and abilities.

While I'm sure that FMStudio is useful, I tend to believe that the  
best approach to writing PHP code for FileMaker is to learn the  
syntax and write it for each specific need. I copy and reuse my own  
code all the time, so I don't have to rewrite basic functions each  
time, but without knowing how to write it from scratch, I'd be  
totally at the mercy of this plugin, and would be lost when I needed  
some more specific functions written. I can't help but think that  
there are too many times when that I've needed functions on many of  
the projects I've done, that FMStudio would not be able to do.  
However, I say this without having seen FMStudio, so please correct  
me if I'm wrong.

When I bought FXForge, I quickly realized that I needed to learn how  
to write PHP code myself, which is what I did... and certainly  
haven't regretted it.

My two bits...
