[FX.php List] Connection problem - SOLVED

[Bob Patin]

My client finally figured out what he'd done wrong with his servers;  
Jon Montgomery's note was the clue:

I had told my client yesterday that FileMaker actually doesn't  
communicate with PHP, but with XML; he remembered that last night, and  
had a thought. When he upgraded to FMS 10, he didn't know that FX.php  
uses the XML setting and not the PHP setting; he'd enabled PHP on the  
server, but not XML, so that's why it wasn't working. As soon as he  
enabled XML, it started working.

Just in case someone else stumbles into this same problem... :)
