PHP is one of the most prevalent technologies on the web today. In fact, FileMaker Inc. made the move to integrate PHP as one of the supported technologies for accessing FileMaker data over the web. This video, however, is about using PHP right from within FileMaker. It has nothing to do with the web and everything about how you can extend what FileMaker can do.

In the video, I cover the pervasive desire of being able to email straight from within a FileMaker database. By using the SmartPill PHP plug-in, you can access a variety of class libraries which allow you to do all kinds of things within FileMaker. If you're not afraid of scary looking code, and you're itching to increase the power of what your database can do, then watch this video today!
