[SOLVED] Calling functions from another file

[prudens]

Hi,

 

      I basically want to put all my functions in functions.php;

 

How do I call the function setUpSQL() from functions.php???

<?php
include("functions.php");
setUpSQL();
?>

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.

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
