[FX.php List] PHP Server Error

I usually test with errors on too, and make sure they're off when I  
roll out.

Until Leopard, I had my laptop as a testing sandbox, so I could make  
all my mistakes off-line. ut Leopard killed my FSA copy of FileMaker  
Server 8. And FileMaker Server 9 doesn't work yet on Leopard, so I  
have to use our main testing server. That's fine, except when I'm on  
an airplane or somewhere else without an Internet connection.
