Editing multiple records in a search results

[JLanclos]

Once I generate a list view of search results using fx.php, does anyonw know if it is possible to edit multiple records at one time using the search results page. Since php is server side, I would believe there is a solution to gathering the changes made on the list view and then sending them to filemaker to process.

Thanks

Hi,

Depending on what you are editing yes this should be possible.

You would just have a foreach loop to process all edits when you submit.

Everything on your search results page would have to be wrapped in a single form and you may have to put all the elements into an array (seeing as each field will be called the same thing). And of course, you will have to include the recid on the search result page as well as the edits will need this.
