OK, so why does isAttendanceReport() return 0?
When debugging it's always a good idea to plugin absolute values where
possible, ie instead of using isAttendanceReport($SID), use
isAttendanceReport(1).
Isolate the problem, just run isAttendanceReport() on its own and plugin
various values to see what comes back.

You're not wrong, like I said it's _good practice_. Say you revise your code
to add more statements, it is all too easy to forget to put in the braces as
well thus resulting in faulty logic in your code and you pulling your hair
out trying to figure what the problem is. PHP's flexibility also means that
there is more than one way to shoot yourself in the foot (TIMTOWTSYITF (TM)).
BTW PHP is not an oppressive language at all :)
