[FX.php List] FX Version

[david weiner]

I believe Nashville is also justifiably famous for Hot Chicken.

I'd like to see the PHPCACHE function finished or better documented -  
I just hooked up neocode's caching stuff for mysql and it's a lot  
faster than the page based but I had kind of a negative experience  
with their support and won't be happy if I every have to troubleshoot  
it again without a good group of folks like this board for help.
