[FX.php List] urlencode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

[Steve Hannah]

This is where a little bit of old fashioned debugging comes in to  
play.  If PHP says that you passed an array into urlencode() then you  
probably did (PHP doesn't usually lie).

Try adding some print and print_r statements in and around the error  
message so you can see exactly what data is being passed around.

In particular, do print_r($var_name) (where $var_name is the name of  
the variable passed to urlencode()) just before the offended urlencode 
() call, to see what this array is.. ...

etc..

The truth will be revealed when you see what is in your variables.

Best regards
