[FX.php List] Problems on a looping edit

[Bob Patin]

I've done a lot of loops that edit records just as you're trying to  
do, and they always seem to work just fine. I've not tried 200 though.

Obviously you know that $foundCount is being properly set...

Is it that the loop is sropping, or is it that the recID, as set by  
$myRecID, isn't getting a valid value?

Assuming the loop isn't stalling out and is iterating the full number  
of times, then I'd look at $myRecID as the culprit; if it's not a  
legit recid, then FileMaker won't do anything with it.

Have you tried echoing the errorCode?
