Question About Ajax php Files

[jimmyoneshot]

In my system I have a collection of php files which handle the requests from my ajax e.g. I have a function which lets users "subscribe" to another user's posts "userConnect()" and another function which lets a user uprate another user's post "uprate()"

 

At the moment the uprate() function uses ajax to pass it's data to a file called "ajax_uprate.php" and the userConnect() function similarly passes it's data to a file called "ajax_userConnect.php".

 

Would I be better to combine these files into one global ajax.php file or is it better to keep them seperate? Basically I am wondering because at the moment I have a tonne of ajax_XXX files for every single function, each containing a very small amount of code. My thinking was that the smaller these files are the faster these ajax processes would take place. Am I right in thinking this or not?

I think that you should do groupping similar ajax functions into libraries.

Files are relatively small, and code isn't scattered into small pieces which are difficult to maintain.

If they're minor functions, I don't see a big issue in grouping similar functions to reduce clutter.

Gotchya. I'll probably group the smaller ones then. Thanks for the advice guys
