Chung,
I can follow you to a certain point here, but according to your logic the
use of more then 1 file is always useless. just one big >200K index.php,
functions at the start, huge nested if statements further on. If you page
changes you can just change that file("If that becomes a requirement, then
you can change the function"). Basic programming.
Just have functions like:
page1(){
?>
the actual HTML content of page 1
<?php
}
etc. etc.
Yep, that will be good coding, and easily maintainable.
