[FX.php List] Bad apostrophe character confounds FMP

[Jonathan Schwartz]

OK.  I'm back with the program...

The DOCTYPE declaration can stay down below the php section of the 
page...just don't go echoing a bunch of stuff in the php section 
before that point.  Truth is, I do that all the time during testing, 
placing markers on the page with error results from FMP queries. 
Will be extra careful to clean those up.

Thanks for an enlightening thread.
