eMonk Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I need to include a pagination file in multiple pages or create a custom function but not sure which one to use. For example: <?php function test() { echo "Hello PHP Freaks!"; } ?> Or I can create a separate file that echos this statement and include it. When do you use include/require and when do you create your own custom function?

The Letter E Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 it's not really a question of using an include or making a function. You use multiple files to separate your data. You may have one file that stores database info and another file that stores a set of custom functions or objects. once you have a few files you need to use all at once you can then include them into the file being browsed to. more to the point, I think writing a pagination function is a swell idea. I would avoid programming at the procedural level whenever possible.
