[FX.php List] Bad apostrophe character confounds FMP

[Troy Meyers]

Jonathan,

It may be some other issue, but just putting the statement in the file isn't the complete fix. The file itself must be SAVED AS a UTF-8 encoded file. What text editor are you using? I know how to make sure that happens with BBEdit or Dreamweaver, but not others.
