[SOLVED] dynamically change order of functions

[deansatch]

I have a set of functions which contain different elements of a page. I want to be able to reorder how they appear on a page by pulling the order from the db.

 

e.g. - want to be able to reorder the calling of these functions.

 

display_news();

display_memberlist();

display_features();

 

Would I have to assign the ordering to the div id and rely on absolute positioning in css, or can I get php to dynamically call each funtion in any order?

SELECT callback_name, callback_parameters FROM callbacks ORDER BY callback_order

 

$result = mysql_query($query, $db);
while (list($callback, $parameters) = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
    call_user_func_array($callback, explode(',', $parameters));
}

Thanks for that. call_user_func_array() is a new one for me.
