[PHP] Function call from a hyperlink
Hi, Does someone know how I can call a function in a PHP script using a hyperlink with A HREF=.text/A The function is in the same PHP script as the link.

Why not just pass a variable: a href=file.php?function and then in the PHP file do: if ($function) { function(); } Ryan Shrout Amdmb.com -Original Message- From: Geer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 1:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Function call from a hyperlink Hi, Does someone know how I can call a function in a PHP script using a hyperlink with A HREF=.text/A The function is in the same PHP script as the link.

RE: [PHP] Function call from a hyperlink
you can't. you have to write handler code to read in the information being passed to the script and properly execute a function. (if anyone could arbitrarily execute any function they wanted just by passing in the function name, havoc would be wreaked on PHP programs everywhere :) -Original Message- From: Geer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Subject: [PHP] Function call from a hyperlink Hi, Does someone know how I can call a function in a PHP script using a hyperlink with A HREF=.text/A The function is in the same PHP script as the link.

another way is to do eval () on $function but that kinda stuff is really bad for security. Also bad to get carried away with making one file that passes tons of different function names so your whole website's in one file :) There should be some criminal punishment for doing that. -Original Message- From: Shrout, Ryan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 10:16 AM To: 'Geer'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Function call from a hyperlink Why not just pass a variable: a href=file.php?function and then in the PHP file do: if ($function) { function(); } Ryan Shrout Amdmb.com -Original Message- From: Geer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 1:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Function call from a hyperlink Hi, Does someone know how I can call a function in a PHP script using a hyperlink with A HREF=.text/A The function is in the same PHP script as the link.

RE: [PHP] Function call from a hyperlink
i agree that putting it all into one file is usually bad form, but for small sites that dont change much, it's usually OK to do something like: file.php?page=Main file.php?page=News file.php?page=Contact anything above 5-10 pages probably requires a separate-page-per-section or fusebox-style design... -Original Message- From: Chadwick, Russell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 1:21 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [PHP] Function call from a hyperlink another way is to do eval () on $function but that kinda stuff is really bad for security.
