[FX.php List] Strange error message

[DC]

it sounds like the SESSION variable scoping issue i mentioned last week.

why not just set the ini vars in the top of your index.php script? many 
of the ini settings can be set in scripts rather than in php.ini.

it looks like those can be set in scripts as they are labeled: PHP_INI_ALL

see this page for the list:
