I have a PHP program that authenticates users against an LDAP server. Once authenticated Id like to give the user a link or button to click. I dont want to just give them a IWP link because they could just use the link to login in the future, and that defeats the purpose of using the LDAP server. how can I tell Filemaker to only accept users coming from a certain server IP or URL?

I think it has to do with how the fields are "layered". Look under "arrange" and move things forward and back.

Can I place a username/password in a URL and log someone into a FM database via IWP?

if your movies have a standard naming convention (movie1, movie2, movie3) and THAT data is stored in the database in a field, you can create a button that can be scripted to open the corresponding movie file in the browser via the openURL script step. did i confuse you enough??

That just tells me how to replace the homepage with a custom one, I want to get rid of the HOME and HELP link. thanks.

I want to control the start and end of sessions in both IWP and CWP with FX.php

How do I tell fx.php to close/end a session in FM7? I have an application that will get heavy use, they are very quick and simple lookups. Once the user gets the info they need on a specific PHP page, Id like to close/end the database session. I know how to end the session in PHP and FM 7 IWP (Exit Application Script Step) but not on CWP with PHP.

what operating system are you using on the server? are you using PHP when you get the expiration message?

This can happen for a number of reasons, especially if you are behind a proxy. Clear your cache or increase it.

When I run something in IWP under FM 6 there is always a HOME and HELP link on top of the page. Is there a way to get rid of that? with a script or CDML?

xampp is MUCH better and easier. http://www.apachefriends.org/

- I have a button on a db. - When the button is clicked it opens a file (via a script). - The file relates to the record number (so if it is record #5 and you click the button a file called "5.pdf" is opened via the "open URL" script step) the question: Is there a way to check if the file exists? for example, if the file doesnt exist Id like to give the user a message ( "Show Custom Dialog") thanks!

Can someone recommend a filemaker web host. thanks!

the second table (it's the same file)

Hi Lee, I would like to do something simple. I would like to display (via the Internet) 10 records at a time on a screen, and eventually figure out how to get it to automatically display the next 10 records (similiar to the scroll you see when you check the fligh status of a plane on the monitors at aiports). As far as I know I need to set-up a portal to get the screen to display only 10 records at a time (instead of all the records). here's what i have done: I setup 2 tables. Table 1 fields: sectionnumber, clientname Table2 fields: number, name I then create a relation and tell it: sectionnumber=number and clientname=name (I make them all text) i then create a Portal box in a new layout and throw in the sectionnumber and clientname field Im doing something wrong or leaving out a step. thanks!

Im stuck! I have been try to set up a simple portal with two tables but Im doing something wrong, I set everything up but the data never appears in the poral area. Anyone know a good tutorial? thanks

We had something similiar, it had to do with the server user permissions (the login for the server), they were set to high (too limited). I know Im vague but I didnt do the repair myself.

you need an IP, and if possible a static IP. Use this instead of localhost.

would the approval process use e-mails? you can send e-mails through filemaker as a script.

it's totally bizarre. No matter what is in the layout the screen just stretches all the way across, Im surprised no one has an answer for this. Even if the layout is empty it does this. I know how to remove the menu information on the top of the default themes with a script but that didnt do it either. Ive found an alternate way of using CDML and creating pages in HTML to connect to the database, but Im trying to avoid that if I can.

Hi, I have a database set-up for web access. When I view any of the layouts in a web browser I notice that the scroll bar on the bottom (horizontal) allows the viewer to scroll to the right a whole bunch even though there isn't any text on that side of the layout. The view I am using for web is "entry only" and my resolution is 800 x 600. any suggestions? ideas? thanks! Fred

Hello everyone, We are trying to use Unlimited to run a survey on our Intranet (Novell based). While we have been able to set it up correctly, once a few users (less than 5) log-on, the Filemaker crashes. Any ideas why this is occurring? The machines are 1.2 GHZ machines running on Windows 2000. We were told to install a IIS patch of some sort, which we did, but we still get crashes. Currently Unlimited is on one machine and the data is stored on another. Any help is appreciated.
