[FX.php List] Annoying PHP warning

[Gjermund Gusland Thorsen]

You should really not turn globals on.

This is good
---
if (isset($_GET['skipSize'])){
       $skipSize=$_GET['skipSize'];
}
---

The point with globals on is that you can make

---
if( isset( $skipSize ) ) {
       $mySkipSize = $skipSize;
}
---

but it is not good practice.
