[SOLVED] Is it ok to have about 7 include files on your php pages?

[limitphp]

To prevent rewriting alot of code, I have about 7 include files on most of the php pages on my website.  Almost all of them are more php code.

 

Is that ok?  Will it slow the website down if it becomes a ilttle popular, or will it not make any difference whatsoever?

 

4 of the main include files are:

include("inc_set_root.php"); ....for pages that get mod rewrited....

include("inc_connGreckle.php"); ....about 4 lines.....

include("inc_global_functions.php"); ....actually, just one function in there right now...pretty short

include("inc_login_script.php");

 

thanks

won't slow it down enough to notice... milliseconds maybe.

Its well worth the advantages of not having repeat code.

If it was me, I would include the files in an include file. This way you only have one include to do each page:

 

IE:

maininclude.inc.php

<?php
include("inc_set_root.php"); //....for pages that get mod rewrited....
include("inc_connGreckle.php"); //....about 4 lines.....
include("inc_global_functions.php"); //....actually, just one function in there right now...pretty short
include("inc_login_script.php");
?>

 

index.php

<?php
include('maininclude.inc.php'); // now only 1 line required for each file
?>

that .inc.php won't mess anything up? the fact that there's a .inc in there?

No, it will not. The .inc is optional, it is just a naming convention I use. You can have as many periods as you want in a file name, all the name cares about is the last x characters after the . which describe what type of file it is.
