[FX.php List] Any body ever use pyfilemaker?

[Steve Winter]

Hi John

Passing variables to a command line application is done using -x xxxxxxx, look at the PHP function getopt (http://php.net/manual/en/function.getopt.php)

Cheers
Steve

All the rules apply - includes, function calls, instantiating FX objects…. it's all the same. It's just being run separate from Apache.
