Upgrade from fx.php 2004 to v5

[ignotum]

One of my clients has a system that uses a 2004 version of fx.php with FileMaker Server 11, Apache 2.2, php v5.3.2.

 

Will I likely be ok upgrading to fx.php v5?

 

is this a "good thing" to do? (we are experienceing some slow performance that we are hoping this might address)

Changing the version of FX is unlikely to fix any performance issues - most of the additions have been around supporting extra functionality rather than being quicker - it's a pretty lean library actually...

 

Most performance issues are based on the XML interface with FileMaker - it's a bit of a bottleneck if the site is busy or has large query data sets.
