Creating dynamic functions based on values from database

[eluser]Pascal Kriete[/eluser]
I'm not sure I understand this correctly. You want segment 2 to be dynamic? Or you want segment 2 to define a new function? The latter isn't possible in php.

Option 1: Routing (docs)

Code:

$route = array(
                'default_controller'                    => 'main',
                'scaffolding_trigger'                    => '',

                'value1/(\w+)'    => 'value1/handle_dynamic/$1'
);

Option2: Remap (docs)

Code:

class Value1 extends Controller {

    /**
     * Constructor
     *
     * @access    public
     */
    function Value1()
    {
        parent::Controller();
    }

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    /**
     * Remap function calls
     *
     * @access    private
     */
    function _remap($func)
    {
        // Put already defined functions in here
        $allowed = array('test', 'test2');

        if (in_array($func, $allowed) )
        {
            $this->$func();
        }
        else
        {
            // Something to handle the second parameter
            $this->defined_function_to_handle_something($func);
        }
    }
}

Let me know if that answered your question at all .
