What have you stored in your table:
function names? or complete functions?
if function names you can do:
$functionname()
if you have complete functions you probably could eval() it.
Please be very very careful with eval().
Why do you store functions in your mysql table? It just looks weird to me.
And perhaps there is a better solution.

Use the eval() function.
It evaluates a string as PHP code

You can store a whole PHP script in the database. If you use the eval function, you can execute the PHP code. If you don't use the eval function, the stored code will be seen as a string. See php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php for more information. But, as PeeHaa said, be very carefull because eval() can also execute evil code like a Delete Query. So you need to check every value in the Database, so that a user cannot insert a Delete query in it that will be executed.
