Very strange...  Here is the line that calls it in another subroutine elsewhere

   if (function_exists($func)) $value= $func($params);

If I do

function ZAPMfunc($params) {
   return gettype($params);

I get "string"

If I do

function ZAPMfunc($params) {
   return $params;

I get "Hello World"

But any other kinds of php commands seem to be completely dead.

I even rebooted my computer this thing is acting so weird... Any
possible ideas?  Arrrggghh...

Cheers,
