WordPress get_posts/get_pages problem

[Judahnator]

I have run into a problem with WordPress's get_post and get_page functions. I was wondering if anyone had seen this, or knows of a work-around, or knows what I am doing wrong here.

 

If I use get_posts, it works fine and returns the first 10 or so posts.

If I use get_posts and request a custom post type, it works fine.

If I use get_posts, and request the post type "page" it will echo the pages instead of returning them.

 

I thought that I could solve this problem by simply using the get_pages function. It does the same thing though.

If however, I use get_pages and request a post type other than "page," such as "post," it works fine again.

 

Am I missing something simple? What is going on?

 

If you want to look for yourself, install a JSON viewer on your browser and visit the links below:

http://jeffreymcguire.com/wovaxapi/core/get_posts/?post_type=page

You will see the difference. The first link returns the content of the posts to the script and it continues fine, the second will echo all the content out instead of returning to my script.
