Using FMPRo 13 with FX.php

[brainonastick]

We are having trouble getting our FMPro13 databases to talk to the website via FX.php.

 

When we installed FMPRo 13 Server we ticked the 3rd party PHP option as we aren't going to be using the Filemaker PHP API.

 

For FMPro11 we have the following settings in the databases security privileges area (which works fine):

 

Access via Instant Web Publishing Engine - ticked

Access via ODBC/JDBC - ticked

Access via Filemaker Network (fmapp) - ticked

Access via Filemaker Mobile (fmmobile) - not ticked (not being used)

Access via XML web Publishing - ticked

Access via XSLT Web Publishing - ticked

Access via PHP Web Publishing - FMS only (fmphp) - not ticked

 

In the Filemaker Pro 13 version of the same databases we have the following options:

 

fmiwp

Access via ODBC/JDBC (fmxdbc)

Access via Filemaker Network (fmapp)

Access via XML Web Publishing Engine - FMSA (fmxml)

Access via PHP Web Publishing - FMS only (fmphp)

Access via Filemaker WebDirect (fmwebdirect)

+ 2 settings for Filemaker Go which we aren't using

 

Which of the above settings do we need to have ticked for FX.php to work?

 

All advice gratefully received.

For web use with FX, should only need the XML option

Thanks webko.

 

In the FMPRo 13 Admin console under Web Publishing there are various settings. We have them set as follows at the moment:

 

General Settings

Enable logging for Web Publishing  - not ticked

 

PHP Publishing

Enable PHP Publishing - unticked

 

XML Publishing

Enable XML Publishing - ticked

Filemaker WebDirect

Enable WebDirect - unticked

 

But the databases are not talking to the web pages:

 

The basic database call info is currently as follows:

 

$News_Search=new FX($serverIP, $webCompanionPort, 'FMPro9');

$News_Search->SetDBData('News.fmp12', 'News', $groupsize);

$News_Search->SetDBPassword('fmsadmin', 'fmsadmin');

 

We are also going to remove the database file extension and use  $dataSourceType instead of 'FMPro9'.

 

$News_Search=new FX($serverIP, $webCompanionPort, $dataSourceType);

$News_Search->SetDBData('News', 'News', $groupsize);

$News_Search->SetDBPassword('fmsadmin', 'fmsadmin');
