I personally chose the include method... I was scared also that the dispatch method will only finish by polluting a single file... on the other side, i like the idea to have a clear view on each php file, so include a security.inc file (which has the switch ...case function) was a logical path for me.

They both work fine. I found that the logic needed in the "dispatch" method to get what I wanted to happen in a complex web application often ended up "polluting" the single control file, so went for the "include" method. But that was a long time ago when I was much younger... I think it's more important that you understand what your goals are in either method, and push yourself to follow your own guidelines. Choose whichever one strikes your fancy. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
