It was daylight savings time; when I run it here, 10/4/2007 would  
always get printed twice. When I take $thetime and add 43200 to it,  
to make it equal NOON on the given day, it works fine...

I wonder why it's not producing the same error on your computer;  
could it be your daylight savings time settings? Mac or PC? I'm on a  
Mac... at any rate, thanks to Troy's help, the problem is solved...

Bob,

I'm fairly sure it is because your strtotime call didn't have an offset (2nd param) specified, so the current time was used. The "bug" would therefore only show up during a certain time period in each day.

That's why I added the "0" offset in the code I sent.

OK.  I've *finally* got it.  HUGE THANKS to everyone who helped:  
Dale, Nick, Alex, Steve and Michael for all your great help!

It turns out that the jTip plugin was the cause of the stray partial  
tooltip that displayed below all other content in both Safari and IE 
(7) (when hovering over the original tooltip link after loading the  
AJAX div).  I've switched to clueTip (another jQuery plugin) and the  
Safari/IE problem is gone(!!)
(jTip & clueTip each have some features I like better than in the  
other, but I guess I can't have everything ;)

I've put up new demos here:
http://jsfmp.com/tooltips/jtip.html
http://jsfmp.com/tooltips/cluetip.html (I haven't reformatted this  
css yet)


Michael:
a) Thanks for showing me how to use jQuery's "load" function instead  
of LAJAX.  I still need to figure out how to include parameters in  
that (e.g. in my real project, each load is to a specific div), but  
I'll look into it.

b) FYI: JT_init(); doesn't actually need to get called on the main  
page since jtip.js starts with "$(document).ready(JT_init);" --  
although this is now a moot point for me since I'll be switching to  
clueTip

c) Thanks for attaching the AJAX-load div to a <p> element; it helps  
me understand jQuery a bit better.  For my project, I want to use a  
hover css formatting.  I'll be looking into jQuery again to see if I  
can do that with a <p> or if I'll go back to using <a>.

d) I'll be looking through your INT610 demo again, which seems like  
it might help me with my (a) & (c) above :)


Thanks again everyone.

-Joel

I've put up a small sample file that shows one way of loading pages  
into multiple divs with a single click.  It also shows a callback to  
allow clicking on an img tag to load another image into another div  
(it will make sense when you look at it)

the page also has a link to the sample files for download (2.3MB)

It is _extremely_ quick and dirty!

You can find it here:  <http://sample.customikesolutions.com>

all the "hardcoded" links could be quite easily pulled from a  
database on the fly.

In the sample file I am using a click function attached to both "li"s  
and "img"s .  Have a look at the visualjQuery <http:// 
visualjquery.com/1.1.2.html> for more info on how to attach functions.

Thanks Michael!

I'm really starting to get jQuery -- and it is very cool.  Your  
sample code makes sense to me(!)

I was just going through some of 15daysofjquery.com.  Their Day 2  
example "Table Striping Made Easy" shows how quick and easy it can be  
to alternate row colors in a table and make the rolled-over row a  
different color.  And by using classes for the tables, it's easy to  
format different tables differently -- really abstracting the  
formatting from the content of the page.
http://15daysofjquery.com/table-striping-made-easy/5/
I'm also starting to see some possible advantages of using elements  
other than 'a' as links, like you'd said.

Do you have any particular tutorial sites that you liked when you  
were first learning jQuery?  I've looked at a couple of the tutorials  
on jquery.com.

Thanks,
-Joel

I think I looked at all of them... but the way I learnt the most was  
by dissecting what other people had done.

Check out the demos for the different plug-ins... and also the sites  
that are mentioned in Sites using jQuery <http://docs.jquery.com/ 
Sites_Using_jQuery> and then adapt them to your requirements.

There's also a book out... I haven't seen it but that may be of  
interest too.

Subject: [FX.php List] Converting .fp5/FX to .fp7/FX problems
Message-ID: <C3271610.4471%criticalsolution@comcast.net>

I am having a hard time getting started in converting some existing .fp5 /
FX code to .fp7 / FX code.

I have converted the mulit .fp5 files to a single .fp7 file I created
layouts for each table ( each .fp5 file now = a flat table)

In the PHP code, I understand how to change the parameters for the result
Calls to account for the server IP and file differences.

The problem is the FMP XML result does not parse, I get an error saying the
error cannot be used in the array but yet the xml error code is 0.

When I click on the (url FX creates to get the xml from FileMaker), the
record data shows in the xml data, so I assume the FM 9 server and includes
are setup correctly, it is just a case of parsing the xml.

If I send the php code for this one query, the .fp7 file and the
Includes that are related, can anybody out there get me started? Once I see
the solution, I can take care of the rest of the conversion (I just need a
push start)

I also had to keep in mind that my naming convention for layouts had
to change slightly for those solutions using php scriptnames as layout
names...

I changed my layout naming convention to php<<Purpose>> instead of
<<php script name>>.php

There should not really be that many things to change if you followed
the tutorial I mentioned in the previous post, database name and
layoutnames should be enough.

Hi John,

 

One thing that you might need to watch out for, which I often forget when
doing conversions from pre-v7 is the need for the username and password...
make sure your query has something like;

            $myQuery->SetDBUserPass($username, $password);

in there somewhere, and that the username and password that you enter are
valid for the xml interface of the database in question. (As you can see I
use variables for the username and password, then set those within
serverVariables.php for easy reuse)

 

Feel free to post code and we?ll try and help out more...

 

Cheers

Steve

Subject: [FX.php List] Converting .fp5/FX to .fp7/FX problems

 

I am having a hard time getting started in converting some existing .fp5 /

FX code to .fp7 / FX code.

 

I have converted the mulit .fp5 files to a single .fp7 file I created

layouts for each table ( each .fp5 file now = a flat table)

 

In the PHP code, I understand how to change the parameters for the result

Calls to account for the server IP and file differences.

 

The problem is the FMP XML result does not parse, I get an error saying the

error cannot be used in the array but yet the xml error code is 0.

 

When I click on the (url FX creates to get the xml from FileMaker), the

record data shows in the xml data, so I assume the FM 9 server and includes

are setup correctly, it is just a case of parsing the xml.

 

If I send the php code for this one query, the .fp7 file and the

Includes that are related, can anybody out there get me started? Once I see

the solution, I can take care of the rest of the conversion (I just need a

push start)

I have not really looked at any of the other implementations...

I use jQuery with javascript as much as possible, it's great :) I did  
use Mochikit but find jQuery a lot nicer.

It has some AJAX functionality as well, so I guess that's my answer.  
I tend to include the jQuery Form plugin as well though, since it has  
a form serializer that isn't in jQuery default.

I looked at prototype with scriptaculous, dojo toolkit, Yahoo UI (for  
about 10 seconds) and Google Web Toolkit (for another 10 seconds)

Prototype/scriptaculous and dojo looked promising, but I settled on  
jQuery because of its lightweight, extensibility and active  
development team.  The "plugins" are the most useful as you only need  
to load those that are needed.  Both Yahoo and Google seemed to need  
everything loaded and were too much of a learning curve.

jQuery also doesn't rely on knowing a whole lot of javascript... I  
have to know too many other scripting languages to want to learn yet  
another one!

We are using scriptaculous/prototype, since we were already using it  
for display/effects like drag and drop.

Hi Folks,

(There's a question at the end of this long email recap)

I'm still going in circles on my school progress report project.

The problem goes back to printing report cards after teachers enter 
student data.  There are 200+ teachers in 6 schools.  The input side 
has been intended to be web based using fx.php.  No problems there. 
The output side is the real challenge.  I didn't originally think so, 
but I do now.

Earlier on this list, I inquired about using FPDF and I received good 
reviews for that method.  However, in attempting to set that up, I 
now see the expertise in FPDF required and time involved in getting 
the template set up. It could take 100 hours...or more....just for 
the template.

If you'd like to see the test, it appears below.  I have placed the 
same simplified sample "cell module" in 4 places on a page.  Have not 
figured out how to wrap text inside a cell. That's what the 4th 
example was trying to do, and where I gave up...

http://www.exit445.com/mvll/fpdf/tutorial/test5.php

The SECOND alternative is to distribute a runtime FMP file that 
allows teachers to import data from the server and then use it to 
print the Progress Reports.  (You can't use a runtime to connect to 
the server)..  I guess I could use the Excell spreadsheet php class 
to do the export.  This alternative is lousy in that it involves 
input in one place and output in another....with steps in between.

I thought of a THIRD alternative.  I believe that all the school's 
printers are networked and visible on the network across the 
district.  Perhaps if I used a single FMP CLIENT connected to the 
Server at headquarters. and then script the printing of progress 
reports from the FMP client to the remote printers. There's a recipe 
for disaster.

Of course, a FOURTH alternative is to purchase 200 copies of 
FileMaker.  There's not budget for that.

THE QUESTION:
That being said...how do php and mysql systems print data to paper? 
I must be missing some huge piece of the puzzle.  Without better 
alternatives, I'm thinking of walking away from this "opportunity".

Hi Jonathan,

 

In my view FPDF really is your best bet, and based on the alternatives
you?ve come up with, your only bet... 

 

This has been the answer to every web-based printing problem that I?ve come
across because it doesn?t matter what OS or what printer the end user has,
the outcome is still the same... I?ve used it for reports, letters,
certificates, filling in forms (where the output from FMP has to go onto a
government issued form) etc etc

 

You are however correct that establishing the template can be time
consuming, that said, once it?s done, it?s done and will work flawlessly on
every system...

 

Someone mentioned the other day that part of the issue with FPDF was that
you have to specify everything based on XY co-ordinates, however I
personally believe that is one of its strengths since it allows you to put
content precisely where you want it... in a job that I?ve just been working
on for a commercial printer we?re using it in combination with a Flash
application to create print-ready files from data which is manipulated in
flash, the content output to php and the pdf generated pixel perfect...

 

In answer to your FPDF question, to get text to wrap in a field use
Multicell see HYPERLINK
"http://www.fpdf.org/en/doc/multicell.htm"http://www.fpdf.org/en/doc/multice
ll.htm for details...

 

Cheers

Steve

The other thing which occurred to me while I was off on a run was, have you
considered using FPDI, and creating a pdf template which has the actual form
in it, ie the template that the teachers would have written on with a pen,
and then using FPDF to overlay the FMP content onto that form...??...might
be easier than creating the form on the fly as well (for one thing then you
don?t have to worry about boxes lining up exactly ;-)

 

Cheers

Steve

Hi Jonathan,

 

In my view FPDF really is your best bet, and based on the alternatives
you?ve come up with, your only bet... 

 

This has been the answer to every web-based printing problem that I?ve come
across because it doesn?t matter what OS or what printer the end user has,
the outcome is still the same... I?ve used it for reports, letters,
certificates, filling in forms (where the output from FMP has to go onto a
government issued form) etc etc

 

You are however correct that establishing the template can be time
consuming, that said, once it?s done, it?s done and will work flawlessly on
every system...

 

Someone mentioned the other day that part of the issue with FPDF was that
you have to specify everything based on XY co-ordinates, however I
personally believe that is one of its strengths since it allows you to put
content precisely where you want it... in a job that I?ve just been working
on for a commercial printer we?re using it in combination with a Flash
application to create print-ready files from data which is manipulated in
flash, the content output to php and the pdf generated pixel perfect...

 

In answer to your FPDF question, to get text to wrap in a field use
Multicell see HYPERLINK
"http://www.fpdf.org/en/doc/multicell.htm"http://www.fpdf.org/en/doc/multice
ll.htm for details...

 

Cheers

Steve

Hi Folks,

 

(There's a question at the end of this long email recap)

 

I'm still going in circles on my school progress report project.

 

The problem goes back to printing report cards after teachers enter 

student data.  There are 200+ teachers in 6 schools.  The input side 

has been intended to be web based using fx.php.  No problems there. 

The output side is the real challenge.  I didn't originally think so, 

but I do now.

 

Earlier on this list, I inquired about using FPDF and I received good 

reviews for that method.  However, in attempting to set that up, I 

now see the expertise in FPDF required and time involved in getting 

the template set up. It could take 100 hours...or more....just for 

the template.

 

If you'd like to see the test, it appears below.  I have placed the 

same simplified sample "cell module" in 4 places on a page.  Have not 

figured out how to wrap text inside a cell. That's what the 4th 

example was trying to do, and where I gave up...

 

http://www.exit445.com/mvll/fpdf/tutorial/test5.php

 

The SECOND alternative is to distribute a runtime FMP file that 

allows teachers to import data from the server and then use it to 

print the Progress Reports.  (You can't use a runtime to connect to 

the server)..  I guess I could use the Excell spreadsheet php class 

to do the export.  This alternative is lousy in that it involves 

input in one place and output in another....with steps in between.

 

I thought of a THIRD alternative.  I believe that all the school's 

printers are networked and visible on the network across the 

district.  Perhaps if I used a single FMP CLIENT connected to the 

Server at headquarters. and then script the printing of progress 

reports from the FMP client to the remote printers. There's a recipe 

for disaster.

 

Of course, a FOURTH alternative is to purchase 200 copies of 

FileMaker.  There's not budget for that.

 

THE QUESTION:

That being said...how do php and mysql systems print data to paper? 

I must be missing some huge piece of the puzzle.  Without better 

alternatives, I'm thinking of walking away from this "opportunity".

 

J

Thanks Steve,

I considered using FPDI, but don't see the advantage.  The form 
consists of run of the mill tables with ruled lines.  No images, 
shading or anything that FPDF can't do.  I would still need to create 
90% of the cells for outputting the content anyway. Might as well do 
it all all live....unless there are issues such as performance.

Jonathan,

One thing that helps me when I'm using FPDF/FPDI to fine tune content  
to fit specific places on a template is to put a nice red border on  
my cells and text blocks, so I can see their complete "footprint" on  
the page, regardless of the content I'm drawing within them. (If  
you're already drawing cell borders with FPDF, you may not need to do  
this everywhere.) Then take the borders off when you're ready to go  
live.

Other things that trip me up:
* Losing track of the x/y location of the "cursor" while I'm creating  
the page.
* Mixing inches and points and having content land in the wrong spot,  
or completely off the page.

If you are building a PDF with a tight layout, you may generate  
literally hundreds of sample PDFs while you fine tune the piece.

Dale

Thanks Dale,

This was a hard lesson learned while I started to learn FPDF the past 
day or two: You need to follow/direct the cursor each step of the 
way.  Once I learned that, I stopped tearing my hair out....until I 
got to word wrap at the end of cell.  ;-)

I am sort of where I first was with fx.php: I can recreate a single 
function from the tutorial, but combining the functions to get what 
you want is the real trick.

Thanks for your responses. I dug a little deeper and found the $DBUser and
$DBPassword vars were not set in the FX.php file. I was assuming the
Server_data.php include was being used so that is where I put the ID & Pass
but they were not showing in the filemaker URL so I figured there was
someplace else to set them.
Having them set in the FX.php file is OK for now.

jQuery has met every challenge I've had so far.  Effects, Ajax to  
MySQL/FMP, etc.

Good luck.

Michael and Dale,

Thank for this suggestion. I've downloaded the MacOS version, and am studying it.

My installation will be on a Mac Mini (Intel), same machine as FMS and Apache, PHP, etc. (of course).

The ImageMagick site lists two PHP interfaces...
MagickWand for PHP
IMagick

Is there a special reason you recommended MagickWand for PHP?

Thanks again.

-Troy

Doing a strtotime on a date only results in a "midnight" time for  
that date - within the "first hour of the next day" that ends up  
being rolled back to the previous day on the DST time change day.  
Adding a time of day to your date (i.e. strtotime($d[$x].' 11:59:59')  
will result in a unixtime that won't be affected by DST thresholds.

Hey Troy,

I'm not actually using MagickWand or IMagick. I'm just making  
shell_exec() calls to the functions included with ImageMagick.

It's impotant not to use environment variables inside: shell_exec()

'cos I didn't know about IMagick!  I'd use whichever is easier to  
use, and gets you up and running quickest.

Hmm it's the good old non low ASCII char crap again,
but it's inconsistent I can have the characters ??? in one field,
but not in another.

It gives me error to have any UTF-8 chars in the field "contact", but
not in the field "name"...

Does the error also occur if you hit the FM XML directly within the  
problem browsers?

Hey Gjermund

I started using LAJAX because it was so ready-to-use without having  
to know much about JavaScript or AJAX.

I've recently been getting into jQuery, and just discovered how to do  
something that's really pushing me to use jQuery more:

In LAJAX, you need to specify the <div> that the callback will go  
to.  In my current project, I have many divs (cells in a table) that  
can each get refreshed through an AJAX call to the DB.*  With LAJAX I  
needed to either reference by ID the specific DIV in each link, or  
create multiple LAJAX functions -- one for each div, (which I might  
have had to do due to the limitations of a jQuery plugin I was  
using).  Anyway, jQuery has a command called "this", which acts on  
the DOM** element that triggers the action -- so you don't need to  
specify WHERE to do an action... jQuery knows exactly where via its  
use of "this".  On top of that, there are various methods to  
'traverse' the DOM, such as "parents" which goes up the hierarchical  
ladder of the DOM starting at the "this" element and stopping at  
whatever element you specify.  For instance:

I've got something like:

<div class="cell">
   <div class="year">
     <ul class="year">
       <li>
         <a>xyzlink</a>
       </li>
     </ul>
   </div>
   <div class="fall">
      (etc.)
   </div>
</div> <!-- end of "cell" div-->

With the jQuery line:
    $(this).parents(".cell").load("ajaxpage.php");
I can have jQuery load ajaxpage.php into the outside <div> that is  
surrounding THAT PARTICULAR LINK (<a>) that triggered the call.  I  
don't need to specify that cell by any ID.

*My setup is diffferent than the LAJAX sample, which loads results  
into a DIFFERENT div.  Mine reload into their same divs.
**DOM in layperson's terms are the base html elements: <html>,  
<body>, <p>, <div>, <span>, <a>,  <ul>, <li>, etc.

Granted, it's taken me a little time to understand how jQuery works,  
but it is really cool... and I'm only just beginning.

Hope that's helpful,
-Joel

Joel,

You do not have to write multiple functions for LAJAX to target  
specific divs.

If you have a function as such:

var targetDiv = null;
	
function updateDynamic()
	{
		var updateDIV = document.targetDIV;
		if(Lajax.state() == 4) {
			document.getElementById(updateDIV).innerHTML=Lajax.result();
		} else {
			document.getElementById(updateDIV).innerHTML="Please wait...";
		}	
	}

Your LAJAX request could then be:

<a href="javascript:document.targetDIV='update<?php echo  
$currentRecord; ?>';Lajax.post(url,updateDynamic,{parameters};">Link  
text here</a>


With the targetDIV being a unique DIV ID and the Lajax.post or  
Lajax.get targeting that div. One function to cover all your bases.

Hope this helps.

Hi Andy

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I do know that a single LAJAX function can reference multiple  
DIVS -- I tried to state that in my last post.

Unfortunately, while experimenting with the jTip tooltip plugin, the  
structure of the code required to have one link display a tooltip on  
hover and then go to a different link on click was a bit awkward  
(something like <a href="tooltipdata.php?&amp;link=goToOnClick.php">)  
and I found that using two javascript calls/functions after the  
"link=" didn't work (i.e. <a href="tooltipdata.php? 
$amp;link=javascript:divID='xyz';LAJAX.get(url,edit,{parameters);">  
did *not* work.)  This is why I'd mentioned creating multiple LAJAX  
functions as a second option.

My point, though, was that each link in LAJAX has to reference its  
own specific DIV ID (via PHP and $currentRecord -- I hadn't meant  
that they had to be hard-coded); while in jQuery the link itself (as  
could be viewed in ViewSource) doesn't need to reference any DIV at  
all.  Certainly it's not much work to get PHP to spit out the current  
DIV ID, but what I like about jQuery is that it provides a way to  
abstract the interface from the data... in other words, up top in my  
<script> section of my page is where I put the code telling how, when  
and where to put triggerable events and how, when and where to return  
my results, and my data output can remain more straight-forward  
data.  I'm probably not explaining this well since it's all still so  
new to me, but it really is pretty revolutionary in how it's getting  
me to think about coding for the web.  In fact, I can now have my  
tooltip links clickable without having to use the awkward jTip link  
structure, just by using standard jQuery code.

Best,
-Joel
p.s. I don't believe you need to have two separate vars like in your  
LAJAX example below.  Just using targetDiv everywhere instead of  
updateDIV works for me, without needing to set one var to another,  
nor needing to use "document.targetDiv" (thanks to Kevin Becker on  
this list back in May :)

Well I found that the problem does not exist on my webserver; the one
I use for developing.

However only on the deployment server, debian 4.0 with apache 1.x

META tags are OK, there has to be something odd in the ISP's
/etc/apache/httpd.conf

I do not know what causes this yet.

But I realized it has to do wtih character encoding.

Apologies if this is a ridiculously simple question.

I'm converting some old CDML pages to fx.php. In several spots there  
are fields that let users put simple HTML tags for bold and italic to  
format the display of their submission. In CDML all that was required  
was a raw tag [FMP-field: xxxxxx, raw] to have these properly rendered.

Is there an fx.php equivalent? And would it be the same if using the  
FMP PHP API.  Thx.

In my experience, if there are bold or italic tags in a text field, 
these get correctly rendered to screen in PHP.

echo $theFoundData['Description'][0];

Will just output the contents as part of a webpage, so the tags will 
get interpreted.

However, this won;t render the linebreaks, unless people have used 
<br> or <p> within the field, so:

echo nl2br ($thenewsData['Description'][0]);

Will cover that off...

YMMV?

You might also want to use

html_entity_decode()

if you get some strange characters in place of apostrophes...

PHP.net is (IMHO) the Holy Grail of sources for all things PHP... not  
that it hasn't prevented my wasting countless hours on silly  
errors... :)

Hi folks

Did any of you guys find out where iTunes puts "Recents" phone calls
from the phone when syncing?

I would like to scoop up the sales department's recent calls in from FileMaker.

Probably through FX.php or pyFileMaker.

Dear All,

(And I'll probably kick myself when I get an answer but...)

OK, for the sake of argument, I have to create one header record and 
then x sub-records in a related table...

Creating the main record and grabbing the ID is easy, and I've got 
whatever info I need for each of the sub-records available.
I can't use lookups based on IDs - not my choice, this system was 
originally FM only and scripted imports between tables, so I've got 
to carry the data across into the sub-records and insert it at the 
same time as I create them...

What's the best way to go about creating the sub-records?

Pseudo-code for the Submit page:

Code:

<form name="Create Request" action="request.php" method="post">
Header Record Info
<input type="hidden" name="requestedBy" value="Tim Booth by web">
Purchase Order No: <input type="text" name="purchaseOrder">
Notes: <input type="textarea" name="notes"></textarea>

SubRecord 1
<input type="checkbox" name="pickMe" checked value="R1741841">
<input type="hidden" name="Account" value="BHP Steel">

SubRecord 2
<input type="checkbox" name="pickMe" checked value="R1743443">
<input type="hidden" name="Account" value="BHP Steel">

...

SubRecord n
<input type="checkbox" name="pickMe" checked value="R1743447">
<input type="hidden" name="Account" value="BHP Steel">

<p align="right"><input type="submit" name="ak" value="Create Request"></p>
</form>


Thoughts?

Cheers

Webko

Stuff the ID from the current master record in a $_SESSION -variable, such as
$_SESSION['currentMainRecordID'];

read up on this here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

and use FMNew() for the sub records

I can do this bit.... Don't really need to do that in this case, as 
$mainRecordID = [ID from creating MasterRecord] will suffice on the same page.

And put the data from SubRecord 1 in the first record, SubRecord2 in 
the 2nd ... SubRecord n in the nth record how? That's the bit I need

Hi Tim,

 

I?m a bit lost here, but what if, on your submission page you loaded the
values into an array for posting back, something like;

 

<?php $i=0; ?>

<form action="myForm.php" method="post">

<p>Sub record 1<br />

<input type="hidden" name="pickMe[<?php echo $i; ?>]" value="notMe" />

<input type="checkbox" name="pickMe[<?php echo $i; ?>]" checked
value="R1741841">

<input type="hidden" name="Account[<?php echo $i; ?>]" value="BHP
Steel"></p>

<?php $i++; ?>

<p>SubRecord 2<br />

<input type="hidden" name="pickMe[<?php echo $i; ?>]" value="notMe" />

<input type="checkbox" name="pickMe[<?php echo $i; ?>]" checked
value="R1743443">

<input type="hidden" name="Account[<?php echo $i; ?>]" value="BHP
Steel"></p>

<p><input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" /></p>

</form>

 

(Of course if the data that you?re displaying is coming from a db query this
is can be written with a foreach loop anyway)

 

Then when you get to your processing page, you can do the parent submit, get
your master record ID, then a loop of the kind;

 

For($i=0; $i<count($_POST[?pickMe?]); $i++) {

  If($_POST[?pickMe?][$i] != ?notMe?) {

    $myQuery = new FX( etc

    $myQuery -> AddDBParam(?pickMe?, $_POST[?pickMe?][$i]); // not sure if
this needs to go into db?

    $myQuery -> AddDBParam(?account?, $_POST[?account?][$i]);

    $myQuery -> AddDBParam(?parentID?, [ID from creating MasterRecord]);

    $myData = FMNew();

  }

}

 

Helpful...??... 

 

Cheers

Steve

Hi all,

I'm trying to come to grips with an implementation strategy and could use
your recommendations before I get started.  I have a document management
system based on FMP8 w/FX PHP Windows IIS  (will be moving to 9 at some
point).  The solution is for internal users behind a firewall.  We would
like to extend the functionality to support external users moving access
outside the firewall.

1. Can I support both internal and external web access from one FMP Server?
2.  Should I connect to one data source or replicate the database outside
the firewall?
3.  Should I implement an external only solution and have all users hit the
external site?

Any other input, suggestions, pitfalls, etc. are most welcome.

Best regards

Hi Gerry,

 

A few (other) ideas;

1.	you could leave everything exactly how it is and create a static
route on your firewall which redirects any requests to the external IP of
the firewall on port 80 to the static IP address, port 80, of the current
web server. Quick and simple, does however expose that machine to potential
attacks from the outside world...
2.	get a new server, put the OS (Win, OSX, Linux) and webServer (IIS,
apache) of your choice on it and put it on the outside of the firewall, open
a port in the firewall at some really random port, 23582 for want of a
better number ;-) tell the firewall to only accept requests from the static
IP of the external server on that port and to route those requests to the
static IP of the current web server on port 80 on the inside of the
firewall. Then put the php files of your solution on the outside box, and in
the server configuration for FX.php tell it that the filemaker server is at
the IP of the outside of the firewall and on port 23582...

 

In response to your actual suggestions

1. Can I support both internal and external web access from one FMP Server?

Yes you can, this is essentially what my suggestion one is doing...
2. Should I connect to one data source or replicate the database outside the
firewall?

Replication of the whole system sounds like a lot of hard work, and a
maintenance hassle that I think can be avoided...
3. Should I implement an external only solution and have all users hit the
external site?

That would be a viable option, it does however expose your server to greater
risks than leaving it behind the firewall, as then it?s a potential target
on all ports, rather than just the ones you open in the firewall.

 

If I were doing this, and I could afford another server, with its own static
IP, then I?d go with my option 2 above, since that way only that box is
?vulnerable? since even if a full port scan was conducted on the firewall,
and someone found that the port you?d opened was open, then the firewall
would deny all access unless it came from the correct address... (and yes, I
know IP addresses can be spoofed, but let?s get real... chances are slim and
unless you really annoyed someone ;-)

 

Hope this helps...

 

Cheers

Steve

Hi all,

I'm trying to come to grips with an implementation strategy and could use
your recommendations before I get started. I have a document management
system based on FMP8 w/FX PHP Windows IIS (will be moving to 9 at some
point). The solution is for internal users behind a firewall. We would like
to extend the functionality to support external users moving access outside
the firewall. 

1. Can I support both internal and external web access from one FMP Server?
2. Should I connect to one data source or replicate the database outside the
firewall?
3. Should I implement an external only solution and have all users hit the
external site?

Any other input, suggestions, pitfalls, etc. are most welcome.

Best regards
Gerry Charest

Gerry,

1. Can I support both internal and external web access from one FMP Server?
- Yes, the router can be the firewall and port forwarding.

2.  Should I connect to one data source or replicate the database outside
the firewall? - see below

3.  Should I implement an external only solution and have all users hit the
external site? - see below


In my opinion you should copy of the database and have all the web users
(internal and external) access that database. You can use the same FileMaker
server but have the ?web served? version? a dfferent name.
This way if the web accessed database crashes for ANY reason, your main
database is safe. Of course you need to figure out the schedule of ?syncing?
the two if you have two way information. You also need to look at the
traffic you may have from both sources.
