how do i perform a specific function using an http address link

wil831

if i have:

<?php
function func_one {... }
function func_two { ... }

switch($_POST['op']) {

  case "func_two":
  func_two();
  break;

  default:
  func_one();
  break;
?>

how would i get to func_two from a http link?

you can try

then change the $POST['op'] to $GET['op'] and you're done.

what if i have a form post in func_one that needs the $_POST['op']

thessoro

sorry i don't understand what you mean

wil831

well, in func_one, i have something like:

function func_one() {
echo "<form action=\"index.php\" method=\"post\">
....
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"op\" value=\"func_three\">
....
}

so i need the $POST['op'] for that form to work...if i change it to $GET['op'], the form won't work anymore

what u really need, from what i understood maybe is...

a HTML hidden input

<form method=post action=page.php?func=func_two>
      <input type=hidden name=op value=func_two>
</form>

so in the page.php, u will have something like this..

switch($_GET['func']) {
       case 'func_two':
                    echo $_POST['op'];
              break;
}

is this what u need. but is insecure...
becoz people can call whatever function they want from the URL... 🙂 keep in mind.

page.php?func=format_the_website

then.. u will cry.

well, what other way is there to do a sort by? say if i have a table listing names in a record how else would i sort by Name besides:

index.php?op=func_two&var1=$var1&var2=$var2&sortby=name
