WebServer Connector ?

[mortemar]

I'm thinking about getting FileMaker Unlimited, but I wonder if it offers the functionnality I need.

I've been trying to get information on WSC, but didn't find enough to be satisfied.

My question : with WSC, is it possible to "integrate" CDML within a PHP page ?

I want to be able to do some treatment like :

/*

<?php

$someArray[0] = [FMP-Field: someField];

?>

*/

Can someone tell me if this is possible using wsc ?

I've only been able to find info about wsc and ssl

thx,

Jerry

For CDML to be active the WebCompanion MUST serve the page.

ok, but then, what's the use of the web connector ?

If the requests have to be done on 591, isn't that like using a webserver on port 80 and sending requests on companion port ?

I have trouble understanding what the webserver connector actually does.

I've been trying to find some documentation, but I haven't been lucky so far.

thx for your help,

Jerry

Good Luck finding anything about the WSC! Not much around.

Look at using the PHP file() function in conjunction with CDML; e.g.

<?php

$aMyData = file ("http://IP:port/FMP?-db=mydb.fp5&-lay=mylay&-format=mydata.txt&-findall");

?>

The format file mydata.txt can list the data on each line and it will be placed into the array $aMyData. E.G.

[FMP-Record]

[FMP-Field: someField]

[/FMP-Record]

Hope this helps.

WSC is great for mapping the 591 port to 80.

And for FM server farm.

thx all for your answers.

I think that I have a very good idea on how to proceed now.

Thx a lot,

I have heard you can't use an OS 10.2 machine with the WSC. Is this true?
