RE: [PHP] Using

[snip] >Is it small enough to be justified? I don't know, I just always thought of it as "clean" to write an application inside of a single file itself. While I'm still fairly new to procedural programming, this may not be the proper way to do things. [/snip] A. It's not a dumb topic, just very broad. 2. Again, using a single file is OK if the size does not get out of hand. Otherwise it becomes a management issue. III. 'Proper', 'correct' and anything such as this is not applicable really in PHP because there are so many ways to solve a problem (read the archives and you'll see) such as your use of a giant nested IF to do the same thing a SWITCH. If I ask you to add 1 to any number you might do (provided we know that $a is numeric)... $a = $a + 1; I might do .... $a++; Is one better?
