I have tried to google this, however I can't seem to find an answer (it might just be the way I'm describing it in search engine).
I have numerous MySQL queries throughout my website. I had considered creating a separate php file with all queries (for easy-editing, if needed) and including it on every page and then calling the required query from while loop onwards etc.
However, this MAY result in slower loading time - I don't know...
I have also read about the possibility of using functions to call required query, but I don't understand what this means, let alone know how to code this.
Can someone please advise me of "best practice" solution for my particular issue?
Thanks!
