[FX.php List] [OFF] Making structural changes...?

[Steve Winter]

Hi all,

I"m pretty sure that the answer to this is 'no', but I'm going to ask  
it anyway...

Recently I've been doing quite a bit of work using MySQL as the back  
end, and I love the way you can make structural changes to the  
database using PHP, adding tables, fields, changing filed types etc  
all 'on the fly'...

Does anybody know of a way to make similar changes in FMP...? I ask as  
I have a solution which users subscribe to, and can then also have  
customisations done as well. To ensure the customisability (is that a  
word...?) I have a separate set of PHP files and a separate database  
for each subscriber. This all works great, until I want to add some  
new features, then I have to apply the same updated code, and database  
changes in many different places. I've been able to script much of the  
PHP work, copying files across all installations, but I can't figure a  
way to do the database side of it...

Usually these changes involve adding extra tables, and generally  
creating new relationships with exiting tables, and often adding a new  
field or two here and there in existing tables (it's not a simple  
solution ;-)

Any ideas...??

Cheers
Steve
