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

[Anders Monsen]

I think that the Site Assistant is just a tool, not an integral feature 
of the PHP or XML core of FileMaker Server 12. The fact that it's no 
longer included, I believe, is a result of a poll last year when people 
were asked whether they use this tool, and the majority responded, "No" 
so FMI removed it. Personally, I think we're better off without the Site 
Assistant, which was far from a "Site" creator in the first place.

When I've used existing PHP installs, I've only needed to add the API to the include_path in the php.ini for the API to work.  As to "installing fmresultset", do you just mean connecting to FMResultSet.php via linking to the API files?  Or is it something else?
