PHP and XML web publishing settings (FileMaker Server only)
When you configure web publishing settings, Admin Console restarts the Web Publishing Engine. During this time, all web published databases are unavailable to web users.
Important Change web publishing settings only when the Web Publishing Engine is not being used. Web publishing clients can lose unsaved work when the Web Publishing Engine restarts.
To enable the FileMaker API for PHP, use the CLI command:
fmsadmin set cwpconfig enablephp=true
To enable the FileMaker API for XML, use the CLI command:
fmsadmin set cwpconfig enablexml=true
See Using the command line interface.
For information about using the FileMaker API for PHP and the FileMaker API for XML, see Claris Server and FileMaker Server Custom Web Publishing Guide.
