I'm new to PHP but one thing I think might be happening is that maybe the changes aren't being made to a "global" (I'm a Java programmer) $sql so they aren't being kept. Does it actually break or is it not appending the additional string? I'd try printing out the $sql and see what you're getting - possibly at different stages of the program - like before and after you call your function.
