Note Submitter: tomer at parity-bit dot com ---- Note that if you want to use a string to specify the method to call (e.g. a drop-down list to decide what to do to a server process) you can do this in three ways. The first is to use this function, as in <?php com_invoke($obj, $_GET['func']); ?> That's bad. The second is to use eval(), as in <?php eval("\$obj->{$_GET['func']}();"); ?> That's very very very *very* bad. The third is to use call_user_func(), as in <?php call_user_func(array($obj, $_GET['func'])); ?> That's very good. Remember to validate the user input against a list of allowed methods if a non-admin is at the console. http://php.net/manual/en/function.call-user-func.php
