RE: [PHP] how do the thing?

once you have read in the file and parsed it up, all you need to do then is to find the correct "string" to execute and call it using : eval($string); happy coding Martin T -----Original Message----- From: Galkov Vladimir [mailto:galkov@kraft-s.php.net] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 4:12 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] how do the thing? Good time of a day! well... as for me the construction... switch($action) { case ... .......... } ...is not very elegant when number of cases over 40-60 or more and the only thing they must do is start one function (often with the same name). for example: case 'add_user_form': { show_add_user_form(); break; } more interesting is to create txt file with records like: add_user_form>show_add_user_form() add_user_recoder>add_user_recoder() ....... So read "show_add_user_form()" is not a problem but how tell PHP that this is a name of function to start but a simple text string? ... P/S: I know about reading php manual ;-) may be in an hour or two I'll get answer on myself but may be somebody can answer qwicker? ;-) Thancks!
