[FX.php List] Will FX.php continue development?

[Dale Bengston]

Chris Hansen, the progenitor and steward of FX.php has written on  
this topic before. I'll let him reiterate his own position on the  
future of of FX.php. My understanding is FX.php is not going  
anywhere, and certainly isn't going away because of the FileMaker PHP  
API.

Keep in mind the PHP API is still beta. I would not develop a  
solution based on beta technology.
