Version History
1. Fixes in FileMaker Server 9.0.2.151
1.1. In Mac OS X, the Web Publishing Engine stopped responding after running for approximately 5 days. This has been fixed.
1.2. A problem has been fixed in which Instant Web Publishing might display the wrong value from a value list. In version 9.0v1, this problem could occur when one value list item is a substring of another value in the list. For example, if a text field uses a value list containing “room A7” and “room A73”, and the field is set to “room A73”, Instant Web Publishing erroneously displays “room A7” instead. In version 9.0v1, the erroneously displayed data could then be committed to the database, if the user entered Edit mode and clicked Submit.
1.3. A problem has been fixed that would have caused PHP web publishing to stop working correctly on or after October 7, 2007.
1.4. Sites generated by PHP Site Assistant
1.4.1. User credentials used to log into a site are no longer exposed in the URL and the web server log.
1.4.2. When you click the Delete Record button and then click Cancel in the confirmation dialog box, the record is no longer deleted anyway.
1.5. FileMaker Server performance statistics are no longer prevented from being properly added to the Performance Monitor in Windows Server 2003.

FM API for PHP Standalone patch
If you are using the FM API for PHP Standalone, this archive
contains an updated version of that API which must be used instead.
A problem has been fixed in the API that would have caused PHP web
publishing to stop working correctly on or after October 7, 2007.
You will need this updated version of the Standalone API even if
you have updated to FileMaker Server 9.0 v2 or FileMaker Server
Advanced 9.0 v2.
This version of the API is only needed if you are using the
Standalone version of the API.
