[FX.php List] Using MySQL

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Hi Folks,

I just did my first foray into completely replacing FMP with MySQL on 
a small online project. In this case the data is rather static. It's 
remarkable, at least at this point, the trivial nature of changing 
over php code from using  FMP to MySQL.

A reality check please...Since MySQL doesn't have the end user client 
like FileMaker Pro, doesn't this mean that projects now MUST include 
a complete, robust end user interface to allow users (authorized 
client staff) to interact with data in all the ways that FileMaker 
provides natively? There would need to be Query, Sort, Detail, List, 
Add, Edit, Delete, Validation, Calculations, etc for every 
table...the stuff we allow end users to do natively in FMP.

That seems like a huge task, several levels of magnitude more than 
the basic web publishing.

Interested how FielMaker CWP developers view this.

Thanks

Jonathan
