Calling OO functions via href

Anon

Hi,

I want to call a function in a class when a user clicks on a weblink. I know how to do it if I'm not using an OO approach, but is it possible to call a function in a class via href?

Example:

index.php
<a href='object.php?loadObject($row[0])'>$row[0]</a>

object.php
function loadObject($name){
...
}

The above example generates "The document contains no data..".

Errrrrrrr... NO.

That would be a very bad bad bad bad thing.
And you think IIS has security holes.

Just imagine the security holes something like that would be.

"Gee kids, let's make a language that allows anyone to call a function from a URL"

Might as well just give everyone root on your server.

Like VAN says, that would ofcourse be a very dumb thing to do.

I don't really understand why you think there is a difference between calling a 'normal' function and an OO function.

What do you do to call a normal function?
You check for some parameter and start the function.

So what should you do to start an OO function?
Yup, check for a parameter and start the function.

The only diff is that in OO, the function is a method of an object, which means you must create the object before you can call the method.

And an OO script without an object doesn't make any sense, so where's the problem?

A forum, a FAQ, email notification, what else do you need?
