[FX.php List] Portal Records

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Let me provide background...

1) The solution HAS to work NOW.
2) There is the opportunity to upgrade as soon as I work through the solution.
3) I've been "15 minutes away from being done" for the past 2 days
4) I'm in West Palm Beach Florida visiting my Mom on her 91st birthday. Oy.
5) My flight takes off back to California in an hour...although the 
flight DOES have Internet. (Wahoo!).

I think that fx.PHP Discipline Board would understand.
