[FX.php List] Using global variables when calling a FileMaker Script

[John Funk]

Thanks Chris,
Good to know about the session variables but what I am trying to figure out
is the behavior of global FIELDS while running a FileMaker script from
PHP/FX. My FM script has multiple sub scripts that use common global fields.
Running these from a FM Client and as a server script works but not when
executed from PHP/FX.
Thanks
