[FX.php List] Returning FX Object From Function

[Greg Lane]

Welcome Chuck!

The variables (except $layout) inside your NewFX function don't  
contain the values you might expect. Try adding the following line to  
your function, immediately after the "{" line:

   global $serverIP, $webCompanionPort, $laurelFile, $webPW, $webUN;

Variables inside of a function have a local scope unless you've  
specified otherwise. See the PHP manual page on variable scope for  
more info <http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php>.
