Choosing a function

[JeffElkins]

Howdy,

I need to implement a selection menu within a php program for navigation to it's various functions. Currently, I'm hard-coding a single choice:

function1();
// function2();
// function3();

So, obviously, function1 executes in the case above. How can I present a menu so the user can choose a particular function? Or, can I call the program with a desired starting point?

i.e. program.php?function3();

Thanks!

One way would be to use variable functions, e.g. based on the user selection, you set a $function_name variable (or some other variable of your choice)

Then, assuming the function in question is defined, you call $function_name()

try this

program.php?func=function3

then later down in ure code

$func = $_GET['func'];
echo $func; // function3
$var_name = $func."()";
echo $var_name; // function3()
$$varname; // should call function3();
