[FX.php List] Run fx.php and API on same machine?

[Andrew Denman]

Jonathan,

FX.php and the FMAPI aren't always running in the background handling the web requests. As Leo said, they are just collections of code you can use in PHP to easily communicate with the FileMaker server. If you code a page to use fx.php it isn't going to use the FMAPI, and vice versa.  This is why you can have both on the same server - each page only uses what you've coded it to use.

ggt's warning to not use both types of connections in the same project is good because you don't want to be going back and forth between the two types while coding - that's when mistakes happen, and we don't want mistakes.

Thanks ggt.

I wouldn't do it normally. But as long as you mention it, got any 
horror stories to share?

Back to using both fx.php and API on the same machine (not the same 
project)....does this mean that both XML and API data is being 
returned for all queries?  Isn't that excessive?
