Now this is bad, and I need to address this problem, and stop being a lazy slob...  Also, I want FX.php to have more of the life of an open source project -- we've come a long ways since the number of PHP developers in the FileMaker community could be counted on one's fingers.  That said, before I do point to the right place, I was wondering if you folks have a preference:
