[FX.php List] Returning FX Object From Function

[Charles Ross]

Greg,

Thanks for the welcome and the info. I should have probably figured  
that one out, but I was so used to using with abandon variables  
declared in an included file that I didn't think of scope as an issue  
within the function.

Interestingly, your recommendation didn't work. However, using the  
$GLOBALS array did. I changed the function to read as:

function NewFX($layout)
{
   $fxphp = new FX($GLOBALS[serverIP], $GLOBALS[webCompanionPort]);
   $fxphp->SetDBData($GLOBALS[laurelFile], $layout);
   $fxphp->SetDBPassword($GLOBALS[webPW], $GLOBALS[webUN]);

   return $fxphp;
}

and it worked. Placing the line you suggested didn't work.

This possible solution was pointed out to me in the documentation at  
the link you provided. Thanks very much.

Chuck
