call function with variable

You can with eval:
[code]<?php

if(isset($_GET['a']))
{
    $a = $_GET['a'];
    eval("{$a}('hey this works');");
}

?>
<br />
<a href="?a=echo">Test</a>[/code]
However be careful with the use of eval. Make sure there is no nasty code stored within the 'a' variable.

if you've tried your code out, you should be able to answer yourself with a 'yes'... however, that's very dangerous strategy because i can change the url to some critical function name and screw up your server. so, it's better to use ChaosXero's method so that you have a layer of security over what function to be used.
