How to call multiple functions "newbie"

Anon

how can i call multiple functions from a database and from only one field.

or how can i put function in a string and then call that string from a database.

im trying to let people create there own style web page, which they can use my function at anytime from anywhere in my server. if any one as any idea, please post it.

Thank you!

You store the name of the function in the database as a string; so if you had a function foo(), you could store 'foo' in the database.

To use it, get it out of the database like any ordinary string, put it in a variable, say $bar. Then to use it, go

$bar();

See the manual's section on Variable Functions, in Chapter 8, for more detail.
