[FX.php List] FMP PHP or FX.php...??

[Leo R. Lundgren]

Hi,

I cannot shed very much light upon whether FM PHP API is more  
integrated to the server than FX.php, but I doubt it. AFAIK, both of  
them communicated with the server using XML and parses it on their  
side. The PHP stuff you see on the server and in its permissions are  
most likely just administrative stuff FM put in there to integrate  
the PHP part with the server as a whole a bit more.

I decided to go with the FM API, mainly because it's object oriented  
whereas FX.php uses arrays. I just like to keep it clean and similar  
to the rest of my code. I have no doubt that FX.php works just as  
well though.

BTW, it would be interesting to see some performance comparisons  
between the two? Nomatter which one you choose, having FM as a DB  
backend will never be fast, but perhaps there's some difference in  
speed between the two anyway? Perhaps they parse XML differently or  
something.
