Re: cant add new functions to general.php or extra_functions folder
All PHP files need to start with <?php on the first line. The code you posted doesn't have this, so likely is triggering an "unexpected T_STRING" error.
You can see what errors you're triggering by using the myDebug logs: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=82.
