FileMaker Showcases Web-Enabled Database Technology at Zend/PHP Conference

FileMaker technology to help developers easily create dynamic data-driven web solutions

SANTA CLARA, CA – October 30, 2006 -- FileMaker, Inc. will showcase web-enabled database technology during the Zend/PHP Conference and Expo, October 30-November 2, at the Doubletree Inn, San Jose, CA ( www.zendcon.com/index.php ), in the Framework Pavilion, at Booth F6 . FileMaker, both a sponsor and exhibitor, will show developers how to deploy data-driven web sites from applications built with FileMaker Pro.

Along with the instant web publishing and custom web publishing features of its award-winning FileMaker Pro, FileMaker is developing technology that provides an easy way to develop dynamic data integration between web applications and back-end databases. The technology will allow developers to publish information from a FileMaker database to web sites, store information in FileMaker that is gathered from the Web, and create new solutions that combine a web-based front-end with a rich FileMaker back-end.

“Our involvement in the PHP field is a result of strong developer interest for technology that lets them easily exchange dynamic data between a web front-end and a sophisticated back-end database,” said Ryan Rosenberg, vice president, marketing and services, FileMaker, Inc. “Our objective is to allow developers to combine the most popular, easy-to-use database with the easiest-to-use language for dynamic websites. FileMaker Pro is unique among databases because the logic and presentation layers are put together with the data layer.”

FileMaker Pro combines graphical layout creation, scripting, and business logic programming in one development application. Back office solutions for data entry, email communication, security and systems administration can be quickly and cost-effectively developed with FileMaker Pro.
