Hi

I am trying to "upload" a file via the PHP API to my FileMaker database.

With PHP I upload the file to the webserver. From there I would like to insert it into my FileMaker database (embedded). As Insert Picture is not a Web compatible script step I was thinking to use ScriptMaster and the GetFileAsContainer module.

However I have the feeling this is not working... If I run the script from my local computer it all works fine, but when I trigger the script via PHP I only get a question mark back. This means that he does not know the function I guess. I have installed the plugin on my Server, and activated it.

But then this question came up: can I use the ScriptMaster plugin in this way? Is it server compatible?

It is my first time I am really trying to use a plugin on the server side, so I already apologize if I asked a stupid question...

Thanks in advance

In addition to installing it in your usual directory on your server, you will also need to install the plugin to .../FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/wpc/Plugins in order to use it with php.

thanks ! this works.

Really... this plugin rocks !

Sorry to dig up an old topic but im trying to do something similar and not having any luck. I have scriptmaster (v.4.205) installed as a web publishing plugin on my server. I am running filemaker server 11.0v5 on osx 10.8.4. My php triggers a script which inserts a file (which resides on the filemaker server itself) into a container using GetFileAsContainer. I know the plugin is installed correctly because I was able to insert a gradient into the same container from php using the scriptmaster function GradientImage. When I try to insert the file, though, the container just displays "ERROR". In addition I was able to run the same script on a file at the same path on a client and it worked perfectly. The permissions on the file are also set correctly. Anybody besides andries done this successfully and have some advice?
