Collect Data from Web form without custom web publishing

[infoweb]

Hi there,

 

We have a Filemaker DB hosted on FMS 13.

 

Our hosting provider hasn't enabled custom web publishing. We do have web direct through.

 

We want to create a simple web form (that will reside on our website) that will submit data to one single table in our FM DB.

 

From what I can piece together we need to use the FM API for php but this requires Custom Web publishing enabled (which we don't have)

 

Is there any other solution to  collecting web form data? Is it possible through web direct? - keeping in mind the form needs to be available on our website without a user logging in...

You don't need the PHP API if you can use the XML API or is the FMS machine not set up for web publishing at all?

Hard to believe that they would have enabled webdirect without enabling either the XML or PHP option.  Double-check that with them.

Thanks Wim, I've sent in a support ticket and waiting on their response.

My Mistake,

 

turns out access to the php API is available with triple8.net.

 

We're going to start working on our first web form now
