[FX.php List] Current function

[Anders Monsen]

Revisiting this function, is it possible to get the FileMaker record  
ID via current( )? I use this to pull fields from a found set of one,  
and I need to send over the recid in a form.

Until now I have been using something like this:

foreach($createResult['data'] as $key=>$value) {
	$recordDetails = explode('.',$key);
	$currentRecord = $recordDetails[0];
}

While I like the elegance of current( ), I am not sure how to isolate  
the recid piece, which would be very useful.

Thanks,
Anders
