[FX.php List] error help

[DC]

Just a general counsel... you should look at writing code as building  
a brick wall - you have to put down the bottom bricks first, then,  
only when you are certain that those are placed properly do you put  
the next layer on. with a brick wall it is almost impossible to put  
the second layer on before the first, but with code, you can put lots  
of layers on right away and really stuff yourself up.

start simple. build incrementally. test. (oh, did i mention test?)
