[FX.php List] Re: Error I've never seen before

[Chris Hansen]

I may be misunderstanding what's going on here, but the code as listed  
pre-change below shouldn't work.  Here's the signature line of the FX  
constructor:

function FX ($dataServer, $dataPort=591, $dataType='', $dataURLType='')

$dataURLType is the same as $scheme (assuming a standard  
server_data.php file), and therefore it's out of place as the third  
parameter.  Yes, there are defaults in there, but PHP has no way of  
knowing where a parameter belongs unless it's passed in the proper  
order (though depending on usage, you could call the function without  
a third parameter at all...)  So, if you want to specify a scheme, you  
also HAVE to have something in that third slot, even if it's just an  
empty string.  Results otherwise will be unpredictable (depending on  
the logic branching within FX.php in this case.)

Best,
