GingerRobot Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 When you include functions.php you are effectively taking everything in functions.php and putting it into the file that included it. From a results point of view, it would be no different to copying and pasting functions.php into the other file. Of course, using an include is much easier. So, calling a function from functions.php is just like calling any other function. This obviously works both ways too. If you defined a variable or function in the page doing the including, then it would be avaliable to the included code.

runnerjp Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 think of it like stroing your db name password in a file then includeing it via ..include 'mydb.php; all works in the same way Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/108942-solved-calling-functions-from-another-file/#findComment-558972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
