[FX.php List] Odd problem with POST values

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Bob,

I would isolate the process to the major three technologies involved:
	1) Pure HTML POST (no php)
	2) POST with php
	3) POST (with php) and Save to FileMaker with fx.
	4) Same as #3, but use FMP WPE API

If the test 1 fails, you know it is not php related.
if test 2 fails, you know it is not php related.
if test 3 fails, it suggests that fx.php might be the problem.
Test 4 helps confirm #3.

My 2 cents.
