[FX.php List] Illegal characters in FMPro's XML

[Michael Layne]

Another possibility (I've seen a similar error many times) is that 
FX.php is set to use cURL (= true).  , when your version of PHP doesn't 
support it. If you switch to false, that error goes away.  look for 
this around line 486 or 436 (from memory...) you can set at line 99 in 
the latest version of the class.

worth a shot...

HTH.
