[snip] > If I did this, would it make a huge amount of difference? I'm almost certain it WOULD make a difference, but apart from the execution time, I can't think of anything worse than scrolling through 2000 lines of code looking for the section I'm after. Or, even if *I* could find my way around, what about other developers who have to decipher it later??? [/snip] Even if the functions are in an include and I called that include at the top of the page wouldn't that just make the overall code the same length? i.e. <?pseudo-code include("functions.php"); switch($action) case "do this": ..... function(s) called break; case "do that": ..... other function(s) called break; case "do the other": ..... no function(s) called break; ?> Now, it does make the code neater and easier to document no doubt, but doesn't the script namespace above become the same length as itself plus the included file(s)?
