dynamic IF statement.. urgent!

[Anon]

if($page==\"submit_news\"){ submit_news(); }

In my script, that makes it so, if $php_self?page=submit_news it will use the submit_news function, which is a page all on it\'s own.
If I wanted to make thousands of pages/functions.

How would I do it, without having to copy that line 1000\'s of times, and change it.

So another words, I\'m basicly asking, how is it possible to link 50 pages, without defining the name of it.

wildcard? regular expression? different if statement? somethign else al together?

You can use function pointers:

$page = "submit_news";
$page();

But I would check $page before calling the function, because what if the user enters a function that he/she shouldn't run? What if the user calls your page script.php?page=phpinfo? That will run PHP's phpinfo() function and it will reveal a lot of information about your server, which could be dangerous.
