[FX.php List] [OFF] How does the List function work?

[DC]

oops. sorry 'bout that too quick reply.

it looks like you wanted to do this IN filemaker - not in PHP.
you're better off joining an FMP list for those kinds of questions.

is list() an FMP function? because it is also a PHP function and that is 
what threw me.

your question was so OT that it sounded like you were a total FX and PHP 
beginner!

cheers,
