[FX.php List] "site down for maintenance" include?

[Joel Shapiro]

So I could just manually change the php in the include page itself,  
and not even have to check for actual DB availability.

Very nice, and easy enough :)

Seems I could even just have a line or two in my include that I  
uncomment whenever I want to display the "maintenance" message (and  
exit before any subsequent php), and then just re-comment them once  
the maintenance is done.

Thanks Andy!

Best,
-Joel
