[FX.php List] Faster record creation?

[Bob Patin]

I would have thought that wouldn't make any difference, since the  
script runs independently of anything PHP is doing. Once the script is  
triggered, it's not communicating w/ PHP, so how could it be faster  
when triggered from a PHP page?

I have to believe that perhaps your timing process wasn't quite correct.

Here's how I would time it: have the database open and visible when  
the script is triggered, have the script show you a dialog--once you  
click OK in the dialog, the stopwatch should start.

Then I'd probably take out the dialog and run it again, and see if the  
2 results are almost the same.

The point here though, is that it took 7 seconds in FileMaker, versus  
80 seconds in PHP--which is what I was expecting, based on experiences  
I've had here.
