Modular: Fusebox & Classes/OOP

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm coming over to PHP from a lot of Cold Fusion work. In CF I've used the "Fusebox" architecture (http://www.fusebox.org/), which uses a central index file to conditionally include files to do the work depending on the "action" being asked for. I just read about something similar using PHP at phpbuilder: http://phpbuilder.com/columns/bill19990831.php3 My question is, is there a good reason to go with developing classes and using them conditionally as he does in the article: $g = new Gateway_People($homedir); switch ($boxaction) { case "viewcustomer": $g->viewCustomer($custid); break; case "checkauthentication": $g->checkAuthentication($username, $password); break; as opposed to just simply including the files that had the appropriate modularized actions: switch ($boxaction) { case "viewcustomer": include(qry_customer.php3); include(dsp_viewcustomer.php3); break; case "listcustomers": include(qry_customers.php3); include(dsp_listcustomer.php3); break; where the qry_ and the dsp_ files are files with snippets that to do the correct database action and display html? c -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 6.5.8ckt http://irfaiad.virtualave.net/ Comment: PGP Signed for message authentication and verification Comment: KeyID: 0xD68B61E851046CFD iQA/AwUBOhcQkdaLYehRBGz9EQJ94gCg8VUIBnGOFc+TMcyZlkTs6lNkGnQAn1HN mS3KBSvCITme/7lnL/S5puIm =ETDX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
