Scodigo, Inc. is pleased to announce a significant new release for our award winning FileMaker plug-in: SmartPill PHP Edition(TM). Version 1.5, a free upgrade for existing customer, includes 11 new functions, more built-in extensions and single file distribution for Windows.

What Is SmartPill PHP Edition(TM)?

SmartPill does one simple but very powerful thing, it allows you to run PHP code and return the results back to FileMaker. Putting the power of PHP inside FileMaker opens a whole new world of possibilities. Visit PHP's website to view a complete list of functions: http://www.php.net/manual/en/funcref.php.

Just a few of the things you can do:

- Send and receive email
- Send and receive files using FTP
- Get URLs (with SSL support)
- Read and write to Active or Open Directory with LDAP functions
- Communicate with web services
- Encrypt and decrypt your data
- Execute shell commands and return the results
- XML, XSL and XPath functions
- Read and write to files on disk
- Connect to MySQL databases
- Utilize the power of regular expressions
- Access an extensive set of string functions
- Read and write zip files
- Create and manipulate images
- Read EXIF data from image files

And with SmartPill's PHP Extension, you can interact with FileMaker from within your PHP code to:

- Evaluate FileMaker calculations
- Perform scripts
- Execute SQL
- Create application level variables

What's New?

- Container fields can now be set directly using the new
PHP_Execute_To_Container function. Now you can use PHP functions to retrieve (or even create) images, documents and other files and store them directly in the database. Most file types are supported and preview images are generated for the following graphic files: bmp, gif, giff, jpg, jpeg, pct, pdf, png, psd, tif, tiff.

- The Windows version is now distributed as a single ".fmx" plug-in file. This greatly simplifies installation on the Windows platform and will now work with the FileMaker auto-update function for plug-in installation and update on client machines.

- The MySQL extension is now compiled into the Windows version and the PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL (MSSQL) extensions are now compiled in for both Mac and Windows versions. The PDO extension is also now included.

- New fm_sql_select and fm_sql_execute functions allow you to perform SQL queries internally without the need for ODBC drivers or any type of configuration. Now you can easily access the power and flexibility of SQL.

- New variable functions allow you to manage variables that are stored globally at the application level which means they can be accessed from any file.

- New fm_script_control function allows script triggering to be turned on and off. This is very helpful for situations when you don't want script triggering to occur.

- New fm_get_last_error function allows you to check for errors returned by other "fm" functions that are included in the PHP extension.

- New fm_set_error function allows you to return user-defined errors from within your PHP code. Errors set with this function can be read with using the PHP_GetLastError function.

- The PHP_GetLastError function now includes an optional selector parameter allowing you to specify the return of just the error number or just the error description.

- The calendar and wddx extensions, which were previously only available in the Windows version, are now compiled in for the Mac versions.

- Now includes PHP version 5.2.4.

- Improved user manual including instructions for server and web publishing installation and use with FileMaker's AutoUpdate plug-in.
