[FX.php List] Change log function?

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Hi Bob,

I would approach this in following way:

- Write an array of all the starting form values when the page is displayed. Save to session. 

- write an array of newly posted form values. 

- compare the two array, detecting and saving the changes, which you could write to a single field in a log record. 

How's that sound?
