[FX.php List] How to use SetFMGlobal

[Bob Patin]

Well said, Dave! :)

Here's another way to achieve the same thing:

Instead of setting the global, then triggering the script, set the global IN your script before you do whatever other query you may need to perform in your script.

I'm sure the global won't persist any longer than setting it using the FX function, but at least you'll know that every time you trigger the script, you've also set the global.

I rarely use scripts when doing web apps, unless there is absolutely no other way; instead, I write whatever functions I might need using a combination of PHP functions and FX.php; there are some excellent PHP functions available that will do almost anything you can imagine. The source for these is, as in all things PHP, http://www.php.net.
