[FX.php List] Alternate grammar?

[Nick]

If you're starting a new project using FM Server 12 (and you use portals on
your layouts), it is advisable to set $myQuery->usePortalIDs = true;
the difference is that portals have their record id/modid instead of zero
through x.

That means that instead of using a for loop, use a foreach loop to walk
through the portal records (which is backwards compatible with the old way
as well).

foreach ( $record['PortalTable::IDField'] as $portalkey => $portalIDData)
{
  echo $record['PortalTable::OtherField'][$portalkey];

// only now portalkey is not 0 or 1, etc.  It is recordnumber.modID like
the ['data'] array.
  $portalTable_recordinfo = explode('.', $portalkey);
  $portalTable_recordid = $portalTable_recordinfo[0];
// if you wanted to loop through and edit, or something, use the recordID.

}


usePortalIDs is set to false currently in order to maintain backwards
compatibility with the old code, for people that would use a for loop.
