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

[Alex Gates]

Thanks, Bob!
 
I was able to get this with the second method - using the foreach from
my createResult.  This is very helpful. thank you!

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.

Hi everyone-
 
I know this has been covered before, but I can't seem to find it.
 
I know it is possible to explode the array on a find to get the record
ID, but is it possible to get the RecID after a new record creation
without having to do a separate find?
If so, could someone please provide me with an example of the syntax?
