[FX.php List] Strange problem with editing records

[David Ness]

It certainly sounds as though the session is expiring. I think the
default is something like 30 minutes. Make certain that the '-recid' or
some other key value isn't stored in a $_SESSION variable.

Subject: [FX.php List] Strange problem with editing records

I've inherited a web app that was started by someone else, and the  
client has called me with a strange problem.

There are about 8 or so pages of forms, all of which edit the same  
record...

The user logs in, starts editing their record; if they should leave  
their browser open and idle for an hour or so, and then return, and  
then complete the editing of one of these forms, the data isn't  
written to THEIR record, but rather the first record in the database.

 From what I can see in the code, all he's doing is starting a  
session; I see no place where he's even storing the current user's  
RECID in a variable. However, when they return to their browsers (and  
this has happened consistently) after an hour or more, the value of  
RECID seems to either get forgotten or changed to the RECID of record  
#1.

Has anyone seen this sort of behavior? I didn't write this web app,  
and it's extremely convoluted considering the simplicity of the actual  
site, which isn't helping in my search for the reason for this anomaly.

Any help would be mucho appreciated... thanks,
