What I need: The tool must crawl, recursivelly or not, a path, searching for a list of extension, such as .bas, .frm, .xxx Then, It has to parse that files, searching for functions, routines, etc. And finally, ...

Now, I'm working on a project where I don't really understand how can I do things without multiple inheritance, without duplicating code. Here's the situation. There is a website...
I have a single PHP file within a legacy project that is at least a few thousand lines long. It is predominantly separated up into a number of different conditional blocks by a switch statement with about 10 cases.

As a sysadmin, I end up doing some simple ad-hoc programming every once in a while. I'm trying to learn as I go along, so in general, is there anything in the code below that jumps out at you as being bad practise or otherwise unnecessary?
