1 file or many smaller ones

[Anon]

Hi,

I've made a complete working php-shop together with mysql and cookie's. It uses a id tracker and it works nice and fast. Only i have one question:
Everything is now in one big file (400 lines of php and html code), is this a god idea or is it better to split the file and make seperate files fot the different fuctions in the script. Now i have about 10 different if action=="something" routines. The site isn't yet very active, not much visitors, and the scripts works fast on a virtual server.
Thanks in advance Jeroen.

Well, if it's working fine, why change it?

But just in case you get more visitors, you can put those 10 different if-statements in their own files. So in your main script you only have this:

if ($action == "something") {
include("something.php");
} elseif ($action == "something2") {
include("something2.php");
} elseif ($action == "something3") {
include("something3.php");
} // etc...

This way, you only include the file that needs to be run.
