Re: Function calling from url

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 " etc...> 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. -- ---John Holmes...
