I put 
$func = $_REQUEST('func');
as my second line and got 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: array() in 
/var/www/html/php_lib_login_includes/ test_create_acct.php on line 2

So I searched on $_REQUEST in the PHP manual web page
http://www.php.net/manual/en/preface.php

and found no entries.  

Uh is this a joke for newbies?

Cheers, Tom
