I just started working on publishing data via php. I built a solution for in-house use using the separation model. I figured I'd do the same for php starting with a blank ui file. I have no problems pulling data out of the ui file, but anytime I try to pull data of of the data file, I get "Field is missing". I googled it. Found something about about using TO::field name. That didn't work.

I tried accessing the data file directly via php and that seems to work just fine. But I would really like to keep my php layouts in a separate file. Anyone know what the problem is?

The WPE and XML feed can't seem to access "external data sources" via fmnet:/ as long as your presentation and data files are on the same server just change the reference in external data sources from fmnet:/server.host/DB.fp7 to file:/DB.fp7 and you should be good to go.

Took me a while, but I figured out the answer to my own problem. I had the data file linked as "fmnet:/ipaddress/data.fp7". I changed it to "file:data.fp7". Seems to have fixed the problem. So don't do that. Check.

I must have been reading your mind. Freaky.
