Custom Web Publishing With PHP
The FileMaker API for PHP provides an object-oriented PHP interface to FileMaker Pro databases, to integrate FileMaker data into a PHP web application. As the PHP web pages are built by us, we have complete control over the user interface and how the user interacts with the data. When you require more control over the appearance and functionality of your published database, consider using Custom Web Publishing.

A dependable publishing stack
Web Server: in Windows, FileMaker Server uses Internet Information Services (IIS), which is enabled when installing FileMaker Server. In macOS, FileMaker Server uses its own instance of the Apache web server, and there is no need to enable the Apache instance that is installed as part of macOS. Web Publishing Engine: provides the Custom Web Publishing services and the FileMaker WebDirect services for databases hosted by FileMaker Server. PHP Engine: for Custom Web Publishing with PHP, FileMaker Server uses a PHP engine to respond to requests from the web server and to process PHP code. FileMaker Server includes a PHP engine and the FileMaker API for PHP. When PHP code calls the FileMaker API for PHP, those calls are interpreted and sent to the Web Publishing Engine. Database Server: hosts the databases that are shared with FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go users and publish on the web. In a multiple-machine deployment, the machine running the Database Server is called the master machine. Admin Console: runs in a web browser on any client computer from which it is needed to configure and administer FileMaker Server.
