PHP security considerations

Note  A PHP engine is no longer installed and the FileMaker API for PHP is no longer included with FileMaker Server.

Custom Web Publishing with PHP requires a PHP engine on the machine where FileMaker Server is located. When you install FileMaker Server, a version of the PHP engine is installed. However, you can choose to use your own PHP engine.

Security updates to PHP are frequently posted to the php.net website. FileMaker Server updates may include PHP updates, but the php.net website provides PHP updates more frequently. To apply PHP updates more frequently, install and maintain your own PHP engine.

If you maintain your own PHP engine, you must manually install the FileMaker API for PHP in order to use Custom Web Publishing with PHP. See FileMaker Server Custom Web Publishing Guide.

Notes 

• FileMaker Cloud doesn't support Custom Web Publishing and doesn't use PHP.
