Easy
Your form when pressed the button submit will send the data from the form
via post (Which is the best method) to the functions.php with all the
functions. What you need to modify now is that all the <input type=radio>
need to be modified to "FuncToExec" name.
When you receive the input of the form, you just verify what $FuncToExec is
and execute the correct function.
<?php
if($FuncToExec == "joe"){
joe();
}elseif(...){
}
... (All functions in your file goes there)...
?>
Now what you also want to add is that if your JOE function is to return
something, the IF ELSE calling that thing should intercept the value
returned and this part of the script should either do something with that
value or just redirect the value to another script by GET mode:
header("location: myresultpage.php?result=$result");
There, sorted that out right?
have fun
