Obviously there are ways to optimize the code for speed. However, as with many optimizations, there are trade offs... One way to do away with the 450 lines of case would be to use a BUNCH of include modules. For instance: <?PHP include "standard_lib.php"; include "/functions/" . $_POST['Opt'] . ".php"; ?> What this means is that you would need a "Function" file for each option in your directory with only the code for that function. It would be included when the "Opt" function matched. Of course, you would need to either see if the file exists or catch the error if it doesn't but you just compressed 450 lines of case into 2 lines. You also probably compressed 2200 lines down to about 120 or so lines (3 lines for the driver, 80 for the standard includes and another 20-40 for the main function). The down side to this is that you have to have 100+ php files that you will have to maintain separately. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
