[FX.php List] JSON help

>From a lurker...

Usually I would sit on my hands rather than replying with a wiseass remarks
such as "and this has something to do with FX/PHP in what way???" as it is
more of a php question.

But then I click on the link and think, wow another cool thing that I may be
able to use someday. Good people on this list, thanks.
