[FX.php List] delete multiple records at once

[Andy Gaunt]

Timothy,

 

What you are looking to do is loop through and delete a set of entries in
the database.

 

To do a delete you have already found you ned the -recid.

 

The easiest way to accomplish this is to present the user with a form and
checkboxes to tag those entries to delete. The checkbox value should be the
-recid for each record.

 

Then on your processing page, simply do a foreach loop of the posted values
(as they are the individual rec id's) and inside the loop use the function
you already provided to delete a set of records.

 

Let me know if you need help with the code.

Subject: [FX.php List] delete multiple records at once

 

hi there.  

i am using fx.php to connect to a filmaker7 db.  i have a collection page on
my website, that consists of multiple records per user.  i have allowed
users to remove a single entry from the collection, and would like the
ability for them to delete all the entries. 

is there a way in fx.php that i can do this?  

i have tried 
    $delete=new FX($serverIP, $webCompanionPort, 'FMPro7');
    
    $delete->SetDBData($dbName, $tableName);
    $delete->SetDBPassword($password, $username); 
    $delete->AddDBParam('fk_CustomerID', $custID);
    $deleteResult=$delete->FMDelete(true);

to no effect.

any ideas? 

thanks, 
-timothy
