[RESOLVED] Calling a Function problem

[neroag]

Hi All
Im trying to find a way of getting a pull down menu or just Alaphabet letters - ie .. A B C etc etc to set a variable & call a function

so if someone say presses/Selects "A"
a variable will be set ....
$name="A"; Call_the_Function ($name);

Can anyone help please ?

Thank you

How about something along the lines of this:

<?php
if(isset($_GET['letter'])){
   $letter = trim($_GET['letter']);
   // call function here
   function getLetter(){
   		echo 'Letter: ' . $_GET['letter'];
	}
	getLetter();
	exit;
}
else {
	$letters = range('a', 'z');
	foreach($letters as $letter){
?>
<a href="?letter=<?php echo $letter; ?>"><?php echo strtoupper($letter); ?></a> 
<?php } ?>

<p>OR, you may use a form:</p>
<br />

<form name="myForm" method="get" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<select name="letter">
<option selected="selected">Choose One:</option>
<?php 
	foreach($letters as $letter){
?>
<option value="<?php echo $letter; ?>"><?php echo strtoupper($letter); ?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php } ?>
