[FX.php List] testing connection to database

[Andrew Denman]

As far as I can tell, when FX.php fails (ie: no connection to the database)
it does not return an array; it returns an FX_Error object with debug
information.  This is what I use to check if a command has gone through
successfully:

if(!is_array($ReturnData) || $ReturnData['errorCode'] != 0) {
//error message
}

Thanks, ggt - 
I changed it to

$testfindResult=$testfind->FMView();

but I still get the error: Cannot use object of type FX_Error as
array... error instead of an error code.

I can, however, see how using FMView() would lighten the load compared
to FMFindAny
