Well you could have the function name as the query key and the parameters as the query value IE., test.com/?doThis=param1,param2,param3
Then in PHP

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
foreach($_GET as $key=>value){
   $values = split(",",$value);
   $key($values[0],$values[1],$values[2]);
}
foreach($_GET as $key=>value){
   $values = split(",",$value);
   $key($values[0],$values[1],$values[2]);
}

Obviously, that's just an example but that's the jist of it. Not to mention that it is a GIGANTIC security gap. Seriously, you could start a country and form a small army inside that thing
