[FX.php List] Bug in XML output of FMSA

[Stephen Knight]

Hi Gjermund,

Well, that is certainly a sensible suggestion but I do see a few drawbacks
to forcing it into the standard format. You have suggested assigning
arbitrary "Record IDs" to the scripts, which would imply that the data came
through correctly or simply was fixed to look correct - while this might be
a good idea, but it hides the fact from the user that there is something
wrong with the script IDs. Also since the check is for identical record id
and modification id combinations, you wouldn't want to force it to the next
available id - what if a FileMaker bug would surface that in certain cases
messes up record ids? In that case, the explode method of isolating the
record ID would still work, but when looking at the data set you would be
able to see that something is wrong with the array keys. 

To summarize my opinion - it is better to let the developer know that the
data came in wrong, then to fix it up to look "correct".

Do you think it would be bad to just make it

while(isset($this->currentData[$this->currentRecord."-{$i}"])) {
                       $i++;
                   }
                   $this->currentRecord = "{$i}.0";
               }

instead? That way you would get 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, ..., n.0
