FX to Connect to MySQL

[Jalz]

Hi Guys,

Im interested in pushing and pulling data from and FileMaker database to a MySQL database and was thinking of using ODBC. However a contact another developer has said I can use FX.php to push and pull data to and from MySQL. Is this true?

Hello,

Yes, with a bit of PHP wizardry and some SQL skills you could easily export data from Filemaker to MySQL via the FX.php method.

You would establish your FX connection as normal and pull the data and insert into MySQL as you pull it. Not very hard. Maybe 30 minutes work for a good PHP developer :
