[FX.php List] Update a field in all related records.

[Matthew White]

Running a script in php.

Just a note.  Be careful running a FM script in the Custom Web Publishing fm
interface.  If the filemaker script has an error which you don't capture,
the php fx call will fail miserably with no specific error messages.  Just
an FYI, (yes, I did discover this problem very painfully.)
