Where's the password? That's the one being done by reference. It doesn't
matter how you name your variables when calling:
Funtion = caller:
$iComanyid = COMPANY_ID_DEFAULT
$iCustId = $sUsername
$oCust = $sPassword
....which leaves a 4th variable, with which the function does nothing,
nada, so it's NULL all the way.
