[FX.php List] FM / FX / PHP Library system

[CSInfo]

Good Idea but they are not all images, the files will be word docs, PDFs,
ext. But now that you bring it up I do not need to show the specific file
previews in a container anyway.
So here is my plan:
1. upload the files using PHP using a standard file selection dialog
2. Put the stored file path in a field via PHP/FX
3. In FM, create a calculation to show an Icon (PDF/Word/Text) if that file
path is valid.
4. Display a list of files that have been uploaded (DB query)
5. Download files via PHP when selected from the list

If anybody wants to cost estimate and write basic PHP/FX code (using FM
Studio) for steps 1,2,4 & 5 please contact me off list at csinfo at comcast.net
Thanks

How about displaying the files in the web viewer instead? If these are
images then you can call the url in the field from the web viewer and not
worry about container?
