Re: Structuring large PHP programs

John, part of this is a matter of taste - I would personally rather split this into functions. BUT: even if you _are_ using functions, you should only include() the file with the function when you need it, IF this part of the code is getting large. This way, php will not need to parse code that it won't need anyway.
