[FX.php List] Browsing a set of found records

[Dale Bengston]

Hi,

Sorry, offline in meetings all day.

If you need to capture the offset of each record in the FX data  
array, you can just set a counter...

$counter = 0;
foreach($searchResult['data'] as $key => $value)
	{
	[...steps to write your list...]

	$counter ++;
	}

Any reference to the counter (above the increments it) is the current  
"offset" in the FX data array.
