The popular PHP connector for FileMaker Data API adds support for new features of FileMaker Server 18 and for easy deployment using Composer
Prague, CZ -- August 1, 2019
24U Software has released a new version of the popular open-source PHP library designed for PHP developers to easily integrate their code with the RESTful FileMaker Data API without having to learn the FileMaker Data API itself.
The new version brings support for all new features added to the FileMaker Data API with the recent release of FileMaker Server 18, while maintaining full compatibility with the FileMaker Server 17 Data API as well.
fmRESTor is now also available via Composer, a popular application-level package manager for the PHP programming language that provides a standard format for managing dependencies of PHP software and required libraries. Using Composer makes it even easier for PHP developers to maintain future compatibility of their code depending on fmRESTor.
Features of fmRESTor:
- One object class conveniently handles everything
- Automatically generates authentication token
- Re-uses existing token to avoid unnecessary additional connections
- Automatically re-generates expired token
- Handles exceptions and provides meaningful error results
- Can handle raw form data for easier container uploads
- Provides customizable debug logging
Features added in the new version:
- Simple way to run a script and wait for its result with FileMaker Server 18
- Methods for gathering information about FileMaker Server 18 and the accessed database
- Support for easily gathering value lists, i.e. for populating selects
- Added to Composer to make it easier for developers to maintain dependencies
Requirements
fmRESTor requires PHP 5.6 or newer, including PHP 7, with support for cURL, and a FileMaker Server 17 or 18 to connect to.
