including a file from an array

[stew]

hey there guys,

the following code dies on line 27 ($dofunction(); line), it says that there is the wrong parameter count for the function .
its part of navigation script i suppose. the action is retrieved using $_GET then, a file in included and the appropriate function called ... but its not working...

if($_GET["action"] == null) {
$action = 'current';
} else {
$action = $_GET["action"];
}

$actionarray = array('past' => array('live.php','archive'),
		'current' => array("live.php",'current'),
		'comments' => array('comments.php','comments'),
		'addcomments' => array('comments.php','addcomment'),
		'addcomments2' => array('comments.php','addcomment2'),
		'editcomments' => array('comments.php','editcomment'),
		'editcomments2' => array('comments.php','editcomment2'),
		'view' => array('live.php','view_show'),
		'add_new' => array('admin.php','add_new'),
		'add_new2' => array('admin.php','add_new2'),
		'edit' => array('admin.php','edit'),
		'edit2' => array('admin.php','edit2'),
	        'search' => array('live.php','search')
		);
$includefile = $actionarray[$action][0];
include("$includefile");
$dofunction = $actionarray[$action][1];
$dofunction();

can anyone help?!

Where's the actual function?

This is def. not valid...:
$dofunction();

And do yourself a favor and use functions with actual names, dofunction() is not AT ALL descriptive of what the function actually does.

[stew]

no no... $dofunction is a variable not the actual fucntion itself!!

for example... if the action in the URL bar was 'past'

$includefile = $actionarray[$action][0]; 
include("$includefile"); 

the file 'live.php' would be included, then using

$dofunction = $actionarray[$action][1]; 
$dofunction();

hopefully the $dofunction would have the value 'archive' then that function would be executed

hope this is a bit clearer
