romio Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 This is my menu code on my index.php:[code]function menu_case($selected){ switch($selected) { case 0: echo add_product_form(); break; case 1: echo find_products(); break; default: echo find_products(); break; }}[/code]When the page loads I have find_products() as a default value, on the same page I have a "Add Product" which will link to a function, how can I do that?I have tried doing this but I get an error:[code]<a href='<? menu_case(0) ?>' class='style10'>Add Product</a> | Add Category<br><HR></td>[/code]Note that my add_product_form() contains a form which be displayed on the same page.

fooDigi Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 i think you should return the value from that function:function menu_case($selected){ switch($selected) { case 0: $someVar = add_product_form(); } return $someVar;} Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/6163-calling-a-function-from-a-link/#findComment-22236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Php runs on the server so cant be directly called from links (like javascript), but there are ways....An example...[code]<?php if (isset($_GET['action'])) { switch ($_GET['action']) { case "foo": foo(); break; case "bar"; bar(); break; } } function foo() { echo "this is foo\n"; } function bar() { echo "this is bar\n"; }?><a href="?action=foo">call foo</a><a href="?action=bar">call bar</a>[/code]Hope this helps.
