Scodigo, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of the next version of our award-winning SmartPill PHP Edition (TM). Available for download @ http://www.scodigo.com/support/downloads.

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 (with LDAPS support)
- 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, MSSQL and Postgres 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
- Prompt for file and folder locations using standard OS dialogs
- Show progress bars

What's New In Version 2.0?

- New PHP_LoadFunctions function allows you to load your own plug-in functions (or functions supplied by Scodigo or other developers).

- New PHP_LoadFunctionsFromURL is just like PHP_LoadFunctions except it allows you to load functions from an HTTP server. This allows for centralized distribution and management of functions.

- New PHP_UnloadFunctions allows you to unload all functions that have been loaded.

- New PHP_GetLastCode function returns the PHP code that was last executed (very helpful for development and troubleshooting).

- New PHP_VersionAutoUpdate function makes it easier to determine if the plug-in needs to be updated. The function conforms to a standard naming and version numbering convention agreed upon by a group of plug-in developers (in hopes to make FileMaker Server's AutoUpdate function easier to use).

- New fm_select_file, fm_select_folder and fm_save_file functions allow you to prompt the user for file and folder locations using standard OS dialogs.

- New fm_new_progress_bar, fm_close_progress_bar, fm_update_progress_bar, fm_progress_bar_position, fm_progress_bar_timeout, fm_progress_bar_control functions allow you to display progress bars.

- New fm_get_parameter function allows you to read the parameters sent by loaded functions.

- New fm_set_container_file_name function can be used with the PHP_ExecuteToContainer function to set the name of the file from within your PHP code instead of having to send it as a parameter.

- New PHP constants now included to make it easy to determine various file paths from within your PHP code: FM_DESKTOP_PATH, FM_DOCUMENTS_PATH, FM_EXTENSIONS_PATH, FM_PHP_SUPPORT_PATH, FM_PHPX_PATH, FM_PREFERENCES_PATH, FM_TEMPORARY_PATH

- New FileMaker extension errors:
  - 900 Error number must be greater than or equal to 1000
  - 901 Script triggering is disabled
  - 902 Progress bars are disabled
  - 903 Progress bar already exists
  - 904 Progress bar doesn't exist

- SSH2 now included.

- LDAPS (secure LDAP) now included.

- ID3 now included.

- The fileName parameter in PHP_ExecuteToContainer now supports Unicode.

- New error to explicitly determine that a PHP parse error occurred: 202 PHP parse error.

- PHP Support and PHPx folders are now created within the FileMaker Extensions folder when the plug-in starts up (assuming they don't already exist).

- Existing license holders will need to purchase an upgrade for this version (unless your license was purchased on July 14, 2008 or later).
