PHP function with parameter set by link

say for instance i have the following method

    public function admin_edit($id = null)
{
    if(isset($_POST['name']))
    {
        $this->redirect('/Organizations/admin_index');
    }

   $this->set(array('org'=>$this->getModel('Organization')->find($id)));
   $this->setLayout('admin_layout');

}

Now i wish to call this function and set the $id variable = to 1

so in HTML i create the following link: 

<a class="btn btn-info" href="/Organizations/admin_edit?id=1">Edit</a>

However this only creates a $_GET variable called id and sets it to 1

Is there a way to call functions where you set the parameter in the link?

You will need some php logic to load the correct function, some kind of basic routing, as you can not directly call a function from a url (which is good, just think what a security nightmare that would be).

Something like this:

$func = isset($_GET['func']) ? $_GET['func'] : '';
$id = isset($_GET['id']) ? $_GET['id'] : 0;

switch($func){
    case 'func1':
         function_one($id);
         break;
    case 'func2':
         function_two($id);
         break;
    default:
         //handle incorrect
}
