Knowing how to use a FileMaker Join table ( though not exclusive to FileMaker) can solve many data-model related questions for us. … The join table, as it is commonly called and known, solves the complex problem of how to structure the data model when the entities are related in a many-to-many style.

With DocuSign you can create DocuSign Templates with merge fields that you sent to recipients for signing, or you can create a PDF on the fly and upload that at the time of sending the signing request. Integration between FileMaker and DocuSign has a number of benefits, including being able to manage the document signing process in one central place from start to finish. You don’t need to give your FileMaker users access to DocuSign as everything is managed from within FileMaker and you have access to the signed documents from FileMaker.
I recently attended Laracon EU 2018 where Marcus Bointon gave a great talk on Crypto in PHP 7.2. I left the talk having a much greater appreciation for how vastly complicated cryptography is, but also for how PHP is making encryption more accessible thanks to the introduction of Sodium. Data encryption in PHP is something I’ve been working on as part of my work on SpinupWP so I thought it was time I shared a few insights. Buckle up, because this could be a bumpy ride!
