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

Thu Nov 9 13:10:08 MST 2006

sometimes i've seen people with strange errors and it turns out that the 
FX.php file they thought they were using was not the file they were 
using. are you sure you are using the same FX.php file in both cases?
