Both of these products put together requests that they hand to the FM  
server, and as the result the server hands back XML. This is true for  
both FX.php and for the official FileMaker PHP API. There is no more  
"API data" when using the FM PHP API than there is when using FX.php :)

So to answer your question, combining these two in any way doesn't  
result in any redundant data being transmitted for the queries you  
make or the results you get. Except for of course if you were to do  
the same thing with both of the, in the same project, or something  
like that.

Also, just to be clear; Having them both "installed" doesn't do  
anything. You can have a thousand PHP code libraries installed; the  
only thing that affects what is actually used, is what you include in  
your code.
