Okay, what's weak about it? I've long pondered this question myself. I have a modular script and I've debated between having a big switch statement on the index calling functions that are declared in include files... or splitting the switch statement into each include file with it. Overall though, this approach has worked well for me. But, in my limited scripting experience, I may be missing some pros and cons on it. I'm still figuring out the best way to lay out my functions and such. PHPBuilder has an article about web box, a PHP implementation of fusebox: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/bill19990831.php3 rick
