Customer to PHP to MySQL read by FM

My MySQL and FM tactics still have to be a bit refined and so does my understanding of FMs ODBC support, but is it possible to have the "Customer" or end-user submit an order via PHP, which then stored the order in a MySQL database? Then, could the "sales department" use a FM Dev program to connect to the MySQL database to read the order? crazy.gif" border="0

Probably.

Well so far I've managed to find the ODBC plug-in for Filemaker and I got FM and MySQL talking and the PHP inserting the new data. I'm just seeing if anything ends up not working now.

Wouldn't be better insert order directly into FileMaker Unlimited?

1) I don't HAVE FM Unlimited laugh.gif" border="0

2) Exhisting systems are integrated into the MySQL database

3) Doesn't Unlimited just have enhanced capabilites for publishing FM Databases to the web?

Oh well, maybe I'll pick up on it at the conference.

1. I see.

2. It is hard to tell the difference. Maybe you can save more money on development costs, than is the price for Unlimited.

3. What works in normal FM will work in Unlimited for Unlimited number of visitors. You can scale FM on web two ways:

a) By implementing more Unlim. servers

: By using powerful middleware like Lasso.

There is almost no programming cost for such transition.
