gwentltd Report post Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) Good Morning, Using Fusion Charts 3.2 how do I make a PHP connection to a hosted [FileMaker Server 11] database in order to retrieve data to be used in a Fusion Charts chart. All the examples seem to use MySQL as the back end of the charts. It is possible to connect FM to MySQL but I would prefer to connect directly. I understand where I need to place the various components for FC on the web server but unclear as to how to actually make the connection to the FM database. Any help will be appreciated.... greg Edited October 16, 2010 by gwentltd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FusionCharts Support Report post Posted October 19, 2010 Hi, As a normal PHP Developer you need to connect to the FileMaker database which has no connection with core FusionCharts. You can get resources on how to connect to FileMaker using PHP from links like : http://www.filemaker.com/downloads/pdf/article1_php.pdf Once done, you need to query the required data, build an XML from the data for the chart and use FusionCharts.php's Generic wrapper function - renderChart to render the chart using the XML.
