in thread What is code readability?

You do bring up some good points about the code, however the problem is not with the code or its execution but its context. By moving the code into a function it should help declare a context of what is going to happen even if it hides what it is exactly doing.

    Maybe you should post what you think the real subroutine should look like. I suspect that the code is not being used more than once, there by negating the biggest incentive to turn it into a separate procedure. By the time you rewrite it properly, (by removing references to global variables, passing in parameters, etc.), it'll be longer and harder to understand. I'll go out on a limb here and say all the context you need is provided by an appropriate variable name, like $total_fee, for instance. But there's a chance that we'll just have to agree to disagree.
