Right, that's what I thought too. Otherwise it'd throw an error...

Yes, he's using FMEdit.

$query->AddDBParam('-recid', $_POST['-recid']);

I can see the hidden field in the form, which is feeding this $_POST.

I don't think this is a session variable issue, which makes this even  
stranger; however, I'm getting this from the users, who are college  
kids. I'm going to see what happens for me after 2 hours, and that'll  
tell me more.

 From what I can see in the forms, it's a straightforward passing of a  
hidden field (-recid) to the processing page, which is how I would do  
it too. However, this site is incredibly convoluted, and the  
programmer bailed on the client without fixing all the bugs. A well- 
known person too, I was really surprised...
