Hmm, well, FX is PHP. I'd still like to know what the FX Error object was trying to tell you.

What's happening is, your page is processing the results variable assuming it's an array. Since the FX call is failing, you are trying (probably with foreach) to treat an object as an array and PHP is throwing that error.
