[FX.php List] Faster record creation?

[Anders Monsen]

Could you create the records via a FileMaker script, then search for  
the newly created record and display this, as part of the script?

I have not executed scripts via FX, but have done so successfully  
several times using the PHP API with multiple parameters. If the  
script can do all the work for you, the question then becomes how  
quickly can the script create these records.
