Ok. I made a mistake.
I forgot to mention that the variable used for calling the function 
title comes from an INPUT tag of a form. Ex:
<?php

function title( $index )
{
$xml = simplexml_load_file( 'lingo.xml' ) ;
return $xml->message[$index] ;
}

$param = $_POST['msgs'] ; //'msgs' coming from an INPUT tag of a form
$value = title( $param ) ;
echo( $value ) ;

?>

While before the function returns the message stored in the xml file, 
now it return no value.
Any idea why?
