[snip] >Is it small enough to be justified? I don't know, I just always thought of it as "clean" to write an application inside of a single file itself.

Again, using a single file is OK if the size does not get out of hand. Otherwise it becomes a management issue. III. 'Proper', 'correct' and anything such as this is not applicable really in PHP because there are so many ways to solve a problem (read the archives and you'll see) such as your use of a giant nested IF to do the same thing a SWITCH.
