[FX.php List] Accessing summary fields?

[Dale Bengston]

Hey Bob,

FX.PHP will return as many records as you ask it for, by including a  
number or the word 'all' in the first parameter. I have summarized as  
many as 12,000 records with FX... and that was using FMUv6. The  
situation I was dealing with was summarizing invoice line items by  
product by month by customer. I recall someone on this list was  
processing even more records than this.

For a huge found set like this, it's key to use a layout that only  
has the necessary fields. Also, you may have to increase the PHP  
default timeout to make sure it doesn't give up while all that XML is  
being retrieved. The shift in thinking is, often times the number of  
records you're retrieving FX.PHP and processing with PHP can be far  
greater than what you're displaying on the page.

Hope this helps,
Dale
