i'm sure this isn't the only way, but what i do is...
switch ($submit) {
case my_value:
my_function();
break;
case my_other_value:
my_other_function();
break;
default:
my_default_function();
break;
}
so, when the form is submitted, i check the value of submit and run the
corresponding function.
hope this helps,
mike

[PHP] Form call a function on submit

Re: [PHP] Form call a function on submit
AFAIK the function would always need to exist inside a php file. That file doesn't necessarily need to be a `page' (ie. print any HTML). Just make the ACTION of the form point to the file with your function in it (or a call to the function).
