I would like to call a function from a <FORM>'s ACTION attribute. This is
what I'm trying to do:
<FORM
ACTION="www.example.com/PHP_FILENAME/function_name?parameter1=x&parameter2=y

I can include the PHP_FILENAME but passing parameters to the function I
can't figure out how to do. Any help would be appreciated.
Ummm... no. You call a PAGE from the action attribute of a form. There 
is no getting around that. You can call a PHP PAGE that passes variables 
in the query string, though...

action="www.example.com/phpfile.php?function=foo&param1=bar&param2=baar

This would give you $_GET['function'], $_GET['param1'], and 
$_GET['param2'] in your "phpfile.php" page. You then call your function 
using those variables. If you are smart, you'll put in some validation, 
also.
