On a similar note, does php 'look at' all the functions even if not used? I
can understand it reads them, but does it involve any parsing time?

I'm almost certain it WOULD make a difference, but apart from the
execution time, I can't think of anything worse than scrolling through
2000 lines of code looking for the section I'm after.

Or, even if *I* could find my way around, what about other developers
who have to decipher it later???

Even if the functions are in an include and I called that include at the
top of the page wouldn't that just make the overall code the same
length? i.e.

<?pseudo-code

include("functions.php");

switch($action)
case "do this":
.....
function(s) called
break;

case "do that":
.....
other function(s) called
break;

case "do the other":
.....
no function(s) called
break;

?>

Now, it does make the code neater and easier to document no doubt, but
doesn't the script namespace above become the same length as itself plus
the included file(s)?
