FileMaker Server

PHP Web Publishing

Create PHP websites faster, with ease.

FileMaker and PHP

PHP is the most popular programming language used to create data-driven websites. And with FileMaker Server 11, you can quickly and securely migrate your FileMaker data into a PHP web application using the FileMaker Application Programming Interface (API) for PHP or the PHP Site Assistant. Publish information to the web, capture web data or create new solutions combining a web-based front-end with a rich, FileMaker Pro back-end.

FileMaker API for PHP

If you're familiar with PHP website development, you'll want to use the FileMaker API for PHP. The API allows you to create powerful PHP websites that perform the same kind of functions you already have in FileMaker Pro, such as creating and editing records, running FileMaker scripts, displaying portals, and using value lists. The API gives you full control to customize your website's appearance and functionality.

PHP Site Assistant

Whether you're new to PHP web publishing, or you just want to quickly publish FileMaker data to the web, use the PHP Site Assistant to automatically create multiple-page websites. The PHP Site Assistant guides you step-by-step to produce PHP-based web pages based on your FileMaker Pro layouts – no PHP coding skills required. These pages can be published as they are or modified using an HTML editor such as Dreamweaver.
