[FX.php List] Saving/Exporting records from search results

[Jonathan Schwartz]

I am totally not getting it on this one.

A query is performed in php: $search
A set of records is returned in php: $searchResult
Target DB in FMP is called "recipients.fp7.

So far, I am looping thru #searchResult  with new instance FMNew to 
create new record with key field.

This is working...but takes a lot of time to generate 1500 individual 
queries to create the record.

Is this different than your suggestion?
