I have a selectbox that needs to be updated dynamically. I am using jquery to perform that using .load($url), where $url is the location of the php file to call. I am wondering if there is a way to call a specific function within that php file instead of calling the entire php file.

3I don't believe there is, sorry. You are effectively opening a web page and capturing the output. I don't think there's anyway from a URL to cause a specific PHP function to be executed within a collection of functions contained with a 'page' without you writing code within the page to broker that interaction.Lazarus– Lazarus2010-08-10 15:20:13 +00:00Commented Aug 10, 2010 at 15:20

You could send a GET parameter as part of the AJAX request e.g. blah.php?func=1
Then in your PHP file:
if ($_GET['func'] == 1) {
do_something();
}
else {
do_something_else();
}
Or you could use something like CodeIgniter that structures its URL's as controller/function/parameter

no, you can't. but you can pass GET parameters to the URL, and use that URL as a controller. for example:
.load("/ajax_controller.php?action=whatever")

You can pass a parameter to PHP script and user switch in script to select which action needs to be done
