[FX.php List] Problem with FMEdit

[Alex Gates]

Hi Kushal -

Every record has an automatic rec id. This is different than your  
primary key. You can see this by making a calc field Get(recid) in  
filemaker.

You must use -recid in your edit.

Check the documentation - I think it shows an example of how to get  
the rec id using the explode function after a find. Or, of course, you  
can see this using a calc field like I mentioned above.

Good luck!

Alex
