Since many of the people who might be interested in FX might
not be familiar with PHP -- or the XML support in FileMaker for that
matter -- here are some links which may be helpful:
|
-
Nifty Technologies
-
If you want me to do your PHP project, these are the people you need to talk to. I've been with
Nifty since the last quarter of 2007. If we take your project, you'll be pleased with the service
that you receive.
-
The Moyer Group
-
The Moyer Group has written a nice white paper about publishing FileMaker Pro data to the web
using PHP. (You may have even picked up a copy at the most recent FileMaker DevCon.) If you're a FileMaker
developer looking for ways to get your data on the web, head on over and check it out.
Of course, the Moyer Group is also a very respected FileMaker Pro development house. Contact them if you're
looking for someone to put your FileMaker solution on the Web.
Finally, the Moyer Group used to be my employer, and I helped write the curriculum for their
FX.php™ training classes.
-
Soliant Consulting
-
Steve Lane of Soliant Consulting is one of the best with PHP in the FileMaker community, and also contributed the awesome object-based error handling
that is now part of FX.php™. The folks from Soliant have also written a book that covers FX.php™. You'll find a link on
my books page.
-
About.com's FileMaker Page
-
The FileMaker page at About.com has links to some very useful information for FileMaker developers (Development Standards, info on Complex Calculations, etc.) The amount of information on this page will
only increase, so stop back ocasionally to see what's new.
-
The PHP On-Line Manual
-
This is the English version of PHP's official on-line documentation (versions
in other languages are linked from this page.) It's
very good. There are even user submitted tips, clarifications, etc.
If you're new to PHP, or thinking of starting with it, check out this site.
-
Point in Space
-
Looking for someone to host your FileMaker solution powered by FX.php™? Point is Space has been hosting FileMaker solutions powered by Lasso for some time, and these days they're hosting FX.php™ based sites as well. If you're working with FX.php™
and you need someone to take care of the hosting for you, head over to their site.
Let 'em know you heard about them here.

-
FileMaker's XML Central
-
This was the home for information about XML and FileMaker. It was really quite
good. Unfortunately it's moved, and finding things on FileMaker's web site tends to be rather
frustrating. I would like to relink this page if it's still out there.
-
Home Page of Gjermund Gusland Thorsen
-
Gjermund deserves a heaping portion of kudos for his help with FX! He has given
numerous suggestions and requests to help FX along, as well as doing what must have
been a lot of legwork to put the extended character tables together. Not to mention
his interest in creating FX add-ons for popular WYSIWYG HTML editors. (Gjermund also
deserves some praise for his patience while waiting for me to update everything...=)
-
Home Page of Marc Liyanage
-
Just who is Marc Liyanage and why should you care? Well, though I don't know him personally,
I DO know that if you're hoping to get certain nifty Unix tools (like PHP and MySQL, for example)
running under Mac OS X, Marc has done a lot of the hard work for you. Just have a look at
the software portion of his web site. (Link added with the permission of the site's owner.)
-
JpGraph
-
How does a PHP class sound that draws about any kind of graph that you could want?
Now suppose that class spanned the gamut from easy setup for basic data sets to
powerful handling of complex data, does that sound interesting? If so, check out JpGraph.
-
Submit Your FX.php™ Site
-
The reception for FX has been awesome! A lot of you out there are probably already using FX.
Have you used FX.php™ to serve your FileMaker Pro data on the web? Would you like to
show your work off? Drop me a line,
and you may just find your site THE LIST! Granted, I do have final say over
who I link to from my site, but I'll post as many as I can.
