Problem with update record, then link to file

Question

Environment:
Dreamweaver 8, MySQL, PHP.
I have a repeating record from my database. I added an Update
Record server behavior for each search result for the result table.
I added a button to the form and changed "submit" to "view".
Pressing "view" is supposed to allow the user to view the detailed
record information.
The Update Record server behavior is supposed to do two
things:
1) add 1 to the 'numViews' filed of the record's database
entry when the "view" button is pressed
2) After updating the numViews field, the form is supposed to
redirect the user to the detailed record
I found that depending on how I create the record, I an do
one of the above 2 behaviors, but not both. HELP!
To add 1 to the numViews field, I created a form variable
called incNumViews, which does the following:
<?php echo $row_rsSearchResults['recipeNumViews']+1; ?>
Very simple.
The Update Record ends up changing the form action to the
following:
<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>
Looking at the code for this, I ee the following:
$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" .
htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
But when the "view" (ie: submit" button for the form is
pressed, I get redirected back to the same repeating record search
result page, not to the record detail page.
However, the numViews field in the record is getting properly
incremented.
I tried to get around this by changing the Update Record
behavior "After updating, go to:" field to point to the record
detail page, and tried passing a parameter tot he recordID I want
to see details of, as a URL parameter, but that does not work.
If I change the Update Record form action from
<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>
to
record_detail.php?recordID=<?php echo
$row_rsSearchResults['recordID']; ?>
Then I am able to link to the detail page, but NOT update the
numViews field.
HOW can I fix this to both update the record, then jump to
the detail page with a URL parameter being passed, when I click the
"view" (submit) button o the form??
Thanks in advance.

If the user's computer doesn't know what to do with a TIFF file, I guess that Open button would be missing.  Tiff is not a web normal file format, or even a common one for graphics applications....
