[FX.php List] Record Count after the fact

[Andy Gaunt]

Jonathan,

Rather than do a new page, can you do your for loop outside the HTML first
(writing everything to a new variable) then echoing this to your page once
completed?. If so then you could increment a counter variable when the
record matches your criteria ( $counter++; ) and then echo this out before
you echo out your content from the loop.

Subject: [FX.php List] Record Count after the fact

Hi Folks,

I have a search with multiple criteria where I am using the technique 
previously sugegsted here: do the primary search to FMP and then have 
php loop through the records with a secondary criteria to arrive at 
the final record set.  Those records are then displayed with "for 
each."

The problem I have is reporting the number of records found which 
displays on the page above (before) the display of the records 
themselves.  I don't know the size of the record set until after the 
"for each" loop is finished.

I suppose that I can execute the search on another page and then 
include the results on the display page, complete with record count.

Does that sound right, or is there a better way?

Jonathan
