FileMaker

Claris FileMaker combines advanced calculation, scripting, and process automation controls with world-class form building tools, making it possible to create interfaces that can be hosted on FileMaker servers and accessed with the FileMaker application or WebDirect forms, with data optionally available via the FileMaker API. FileMaker works exceptionally well with PHP, enabling securable 2-way data interactions with SQL databases or APIs.

PHP

PHP is extremely popular server-side technology. PHP Data Objects (PDO) and cURL code libraries provide securable, injection-resistant methods to safely interact with SQL databases or REST APIs. PHP is open-source, so no licensing costs, transaction fees, or subscriptions required to own and use industrial strength code. Also, no third-party SaaS connector fees, functionality limitations, security concessions, or service dependencies.

Acrobat

Adobe Acrobat PDF forms provide very adaptable programmable interfaces that can be used, shared, or deployed as data calculation and interaction runtimes. Acrobat forms can utilize JavaScript to add interactivity, making it possible to dynamically calculate, validate, format, and post query parameters to PHP scripts that execute queries on databases or APIs and return the filtered query results back to designated form fields in real time.
