[FX.php List] FX.php usable with FMS12, or only FMSA12?

[Steve Winter]

Hi Phil

According to http://www.filemaker.co.uk/products/compare/fms_vs_fmsa.html FMS will allow PHP and XML web publishing, thus you don't need FMSA (that's needed for ODBC/JDBC and IWP)…

I can confirm that FX still works (mostly) happily with FM12, though you may see some things which need modification if you decide to upgrade… in terms of 12.0v2, that has yet to be released for server, it's out for the client version of 12, but not yet server… at DevCon last week they were saying 'soon'...

HTH

Cheers
Steve

> Our little company has been a long-term user of FX.php. At present, we're running it on a FMSA 9 server. Now we'd like to update to release 12, and I need to know if FX.php still requires Server Advanced, or can be used with the vanilla Server product?

We held off upgrading for a long time, because the cost was high and we only have a few users, but eventually shelled out the $ for FMSA9 because we had to move on.

I see that FMI released the 12.0v2 update a couple of weeks ago, but I couldn't see anything in the release notes which addresses this bug (http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11051/~/software-update%3A-filemaker-pro-12.0v2-and-filemaker-pro-12.0v2-advanced). Can anyone confirm whether 12.0v2 fixes this bug?
