[FX.php List] Special Value List through FX.php

[Dale Bengston]

Hi Andrew,

In short, yes you are beyond the capabilities of the web when it  
comes to FileMaker. FMP conditional value lists have never worked via  
the web, all the way back to CDML. I would suggest bringing in all  
the value list values via FX and filtering them to suit your user's  
input.
