[FX.php List] modid, recid, and single record search results

[Dale Bengston]

Hi Jamie,

If you have one record (and you can find out by looking at foundCount,  
you can get past "knowing" the recid and the modid with something like  
this:

if ($returnedData['foundCount'] == 1)
	{
	$theRec = current($returnedData['data']);
	}

For more on the use of current() on arrays, take a look at

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.current.php

Hope this helps,
Dale
