passing post data through a function?

lorddraco98

I have a series of functions I am working on. They are complimentary as in when one is done, it calls the next. Each function is declared on a separate page and the previous page just includes the next page to call the next function.
On one function, it shows checkboxes, now I need that post data to be available for the next function, how do I do that? I can't put a function for the action on the form can I? if not, what's the best way to do this??

well return it?

I mean for instance... you can just pass it on...

function showPost($post) {
echo $post;
}

showPost($_POST);

but for some reason if you have the $_POST information inside of a function and want to return an array of it or just that... then return it

function showPost($post) {
return $post;
}

Should work...

hmm, i dunno if that's what I'm looking for. i need somewhere to point the form to submit the post data, whcih should be the next function, but i don't think I can do that

ACTUALLY!!!

here is something you can do!!

whatever the value of the post is...

you can actually call it with the value of a variable.... like this!

lets say: $variable = "myFunction";

You can call "myFunction()" by doing this

$variable();

so if:

function myFunction() {
echo "YOU CALLED THE FUNCTION";
}

then thats what would be printed to the screen, That might help you with calling a function with the post data.... k? Tell me if it will work... it should.
