FM7 export container and text fields for MySQL simple synchronisation

[c0rr]

I'm currently developing a web site with a products catalogue.

It happened so that a catalogue already exists as a filemaker database with product pictures stored

in container fields. The site is written in PHP with MySQL database.

Therefore site admins need to synchronise the catalogue in filemaker database, with the one on the site.

So my only aim is to make synchronisation simple and clear for end users.

I suppose to export data in any format that can be parsed by PHP script, upload to server, parse it and then fill the database.

XML export of catalogue is good, but container fields are not exported.

Administrators use filemaker 7 pro on Mac.

I'm new to filemaker(i'm currently using trial version for windows), so may be i missed something

in filemaker functionality.

Is there a more or less simple way to synchronise databases that can be clear for end

user?
