[FX.php List] getting RecID after creating a record

[Bob Patin]

Alex,

Here's how I do it, although there's another method which I'll  
explain below:

I create a Calc field called 'recid'; it equals "get(recordid).

Then, after you create a new record, just do this

$recid = $query['recid'][0];

You can also use the EXPLODE command, like this:

foreach($searchResult['data'] as $key=>$searchData){
	$recordDetails=explode('.',$key);
	$recid=$recordDetails[0];

Personally, I find the first method easier, but that's just me... I  
use it all the time when I'm creating tables of found results, etc.
