[FX.php List] FX and PHP API

[Leo R. Lundgren]

Hi,

Regarding running them both at the same time/on the same server, that  
is absolutely no problem. The important thing to understand is that FX  
and FM PHP API are both nothing than simple PHP code libraries, i.e.  
just PHP code that you include with the rest of your code, i.e.  
technically equivalent to the very PHP code you write yourself. The  
only difference is their functionality, which is to communicate plain  
text with the FM server, and compile and parse said text. There is no  
magic to any of them.

So yes, you can have both FX and FM PHP API in the very same solution/ 
site, even use them for different parts of the same database, at the  
same time. It's not like you will do that, but for the same of  
clarification.

Pros/cons for the two I'll leave for the other guys to inform you  
about, I believe they've used them both more than I have :)
