executing a function through a form

[benjy]

how would i execute a function that i define ie:
function do_nothing_loop(){
}

through a form, that possibly would be on the same page as the function....

well, if you are submitting the form to itself, just add an if statement.
something like this:

if($_POST['Submit']){
function do_nothing_loop(){
// do nothing.
}
}

// your form stuff.
<form>
....
</form>

what if the submit has a 'value' of 'cat' i.e:
<input type="submit" value="cat">

does that mean that instead of $POST['Submit'] it would actually be $POST['cat'] ?

no, $_POST['Submit'] would have the VALUE cat..
