[FX.php List] Layout text

[Salvador A. Sandoval]

I figured out how to get the text element of a  Filemaker Layout into
PHP.   

 

I can use CURL  (http://us2.php.net/curl) to login and grab the source
code of a IWP published version of the Layout(s).   I can then parse out
the elements I want from the source code using PHP.   

 

Hopefully, this will eventually allow me to use one piece of PHP code to
dynamically create feature rich FX/PHP forms for 60+ native FileMaker
Forms (Layouts) and still allow the relatively Filemaker savvy client to
update the layout text as needed without me having to write and re-write
60+ PHP pages.    

 

For a tutorial on Curl download the book available at:

Once you logged into IWP to get to a specific Layout use: 

 

http://<ServerName or IP>/fmi/iwp/cgi?-lay=<LayoutNumber>&-gotolayout=

 

Replacing <ServerName or IP> and <LayoutNumber> with your server info
and the layout number you are trying to get to.
