I didn't say the method doesn't work. I said it's hamfisted.

That's a non-issue. If that becomes a requirement, then you can change
the function. And if that's a requirement from the start, doing an
include on the file is a crappy method as it basically allows the
end-user to blow away the server.

Writing a function is not an overkill--it's basic programming.
