[PHP] Call another program from withing a program

[Kevin]

I need to know if I am doing this the right way or if there is a better way
to do this.

Scenario, two programs. program_1.php and program_2.php.  Based on case
statement, program_1 could possibly call program 2.

Example:

switch ($page) {
    case '1':
        <call program_1.php script>
          break;
    case '2':
        do_some_stuff();
        break;
}

The only way I could get that to work was to do a require/include or
redirect.  Example:

Exmaple 1:
switch ($page) {
    case '1':
        require "program_1.php";
        exit;
        break;
}

Example 2:
switch ($page) {
    case '1':
    print "<META HTTP-EQUIV='refresh' content='0;URL=program_1.php'>";
    exit;
    break;
}

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks
Kevin
