[SOLVED] Arrays and $_REQUEST

[l33t fl33t]

I'm having a rather odd problem, which I've been unable to troubleshoot.

 

I have the following code:

 

function test()

{echo 'Success!';}

 

$actions=array(

'Home'=>'news',

'Register'=>'test();',

'Members'=>'memberlist',

'Profile'=>'display_member',

'Summary'=>'display_member',

'Diplomacy'=>'test();');

 

$_REQUEST['actions']='Diplomacy';

 

return $actions[$_REQUEST['actions']];

 

Now, I'd like to have the return construct call the function test(), however I just can't seem to get it working. The odd thing is that it works fine if I output it to the screen with echo, so I'm guessing that it has something to do with the return.

 

Help?

l33t fl33t,

 

        Try: eval($actions[$_REQUEST['actions']]);  // prints  Success!

Isn't eval something you're not supposed to use because of some security risk or something?

 

Thanks for the fast reply, BTW!

EDIT: Nevermind, I solved it myself. Turns out that  appending () to  return $actions[$_REQUEST['actions']] so that it reads  'return $actions[$_REQUEST['actions']]();' makes it execute as it should. Thanks a lot all the same!
