[FX.php List] Re-That sinking feeling: FileMaker 12 & FX ?

[Troy Meyers]

Chris,

I had never used any other grammar since my exposure has been limited to working with things-FX. In one of the fora a helpful person suggested I try FMRESULTSET in the URL instead and see what I get.

FMRESULTSET also omits data for portals that have no related records, but since the data itself is wrapped with the field identity, this would not cause the misalignment of field/data problem assuming FX could parse it correctly. The fact that the field exists on the layout (even though no related records in a portal) is properly reported in the upper <metadata> section, which is also good, because it would be needed to help FX.php not report such fields as "Undefined index" errors.

I'm not experienced enough to know how to approach adding an alternate grammar to FX... would it likely be accomplishable faster than FMI might fix the WPE problem?
