Whats your > experience with this? good or bad? Well, if it is a big loop then that means that many more hits to the disk (not taking any sort of disk/php/zend caching into consideration.) which is a high price to pay. I would create something like blah2.php: function blah2_html() { //output html.... } and use include_once() in your if statment and call the function Personally I would also use the switch statement instead of a if elesif block for readability: switch ($r) { case 2: include_once('blah1.php'); blah1_html(); break; case 3: include_once('blah3.php'); blah3_html(); break; } Curt -- "I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure."
