Session Files
A zip archive of the example files and slides used in the "Introduction to PHP for FileMaker Developer" session.
FileMaker to PHP Translation Table
This chart will ease your transition into PHP by leveraging your existing FileMaker knowledge. There are currently more than 40 common FileMaker calculations listed with their PHP counterparts and notes where applicable.
PHP Manual
In my opinion, the enormous popularity of PHP has a lot to do with it's excellent online documentation. This particular link is to the english version of the online manual (more than 20 other langauges are supported).
PHP Function Index
You can always search the main page of the php.net site to find the function that you are looking for, but this page gives you an idea of the huge range of options that are available.
How to read a PHP function definition (prototype)
Learning to read function prototypes will serve you extremely well in your web publishing career. Might as well do it sooner rather than later.
FileMaker API for PHP Documentation
Documentation for the FileMaker API for PHP comes installed with FileMaker Server, but it is broken into little chunks that requires a lot of clicking around. I prefer to see everything listed out as one big chart and created this page. I find that it is a nice quick reference cheatsheet.
Web Publishing with FileMaker and PHP
This is a whitepaper the Chris Hansen and I wrote when we were both at The Moyer Group. If you are currently using FX.php and are considering FileMaker.php, I would encourage you to take a look.
FileMaker for PHP Developers Part 1

Part two of an article introducing PHP developers to web publishing with FileMaker. Originally published in PHP Architect magazine, and now available as a PDF from filemaker.com.
FileMaker.php TextMate Bundle
If you are typing code - or anything else, for that matter - you should be using TextMate. This link is a TextMate bundle that contains FileMaker.php code snippets that can be inserted into the current document with keyboard shortcuts and tab triggers. It will make your life ten times better.

Calendars

If you are a Mac user, you can subscribe to one of these calendars with iCal. They are broken down into separate tracks to make the view a little less cluttered. Just click and iCal should launch. If that doesn't work, right-click the link, save the file to your desktop and double-click the downloaded file.

Questions

If you have questions stemming from my Intro to PHP session at DevCon 2007, please feel free to post them here and I will try to get them answered as soon as possible.
