[FX.php List] 1 success, one failure

[Dale Bengston]

Yes, undeclared variables got me too. That and short tages and some  
old, old references to $_HTTP_SERVER_VARS that should have been  
$_SERVER. The short tags and the $_HTTP_SERVER_VARS were easy to  
repair with global search-and-replace. The undeclared variables had to  
be done by hand.
