Dynamically invoke method / function

[Markus]

Say the name of the function is passed by GET.

How can we invoke the method?

EDIT: call_user_func( ) does the trick?

call_user_func( ) should work.

You could always use the eval function.
I would put a huge warning sign on the idea of calling functions from a variable passed by get tho!
Just imagine... page.php?func=u nlink("~/*");
Dunno if that exact syntax actually works but something similar probably does.

Heya, Markus.

Consider validating your function name.

E.g.:
[code=php]
switch( $_GET['func'] )
{
case '':
$func = 'strip_tags';
break;

case 'strip_tags':
case 'trim':
case 'rot13':
$func = $_GET['func'];
break;

default:
$func = 'strip_tags';
break;
}

echo $func($text);
[/code]

[EDIT: I can't wait for that issetor operator....]

I'm not stupid guys ;]

Like an MVC, the class is passed through the url and the method follows.

Do you mean this...
[CODE=php]if (function_exist s($_GET["function"]))
$_GET["function"]();[/CODE]

You can change it for the function arguments too.

$_GET['func']();
Looks abit ugly, to me.
