Calling a function using a hyperlink

[chrislead]

Scenario:

I have a link on one page (home.html), that I want to link to another page(another.php)...simple so far yes?

On [another.php], there are 2 functions, That I want to call separately, depending on which link is clicked on, on the previous page.

I basically want a way of executing one of these functions through a hyperlink on [home.html].

I have sort-of read up on this and my instincts tell me that switch-case functions are being used. And then the function being called through the hyperlink, I.e. ="another.php?action=FunctionName()", where action is what I declare in my switch statement.

Am I on the right lines? Can you please ofer me some code on how I can set up a switch-case statement and associate it to the function and hyperlink? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Finally got it working.🙂

For all interested:

I played about a bit with the switch statement and ended up with this:

switch($_REQUEST['action']){ 

case 'hello':
hello();
break;

case 'bye':
bye();
break;

   default: 
   error(); 
   break; 
   }

//'action' being the value in the hyperlink:

="another.php?action=hello" //this calling case 'hello' and therefore jumping to the hello function.

Hope this helps someone.🙂
