Liquid Web StormonDemand API with JSON

	/*
	 * Author: Jason Gillman Jr.
	 * Description: This is my attempt at writing a PHP wrapper that will ease Storm API calls with PHP
	 * 				It will be designed to use the JSON format for talking with the API server.
	 * 				$api_method is as described in docs (Case matters)
	 * 				request() method returns an array generated from the API return
	 * 				Source: http://lw.rrfaae.com/2011/07/utilizing-the-storm-api-with-php/
