PHP related but unsure what its called

[nmartin82]

Just a quick question I have been looking at working with the language and everyone I meet has what I would call like maybe a "resource set" or a set of generic files like connect.php, globals.php, etc that they use as a base to build off of and hold generic commands they use on every project.

 

Are these made by then or is there a secret place they are hiding so I can find them? I ask because all the tutorials speak in the form of you building a global file for a small project one page design and that's backwards of what I need.

 

Thanks.

Either they wrote the code themselves or they got it from someplace else. Most of the time individual files fall under the former.

I appreciate the response. That being said can you suggest a layout or how the files should be broken down logically ie: globals (what it does), connect, print, etc

 

I hate to create a massive file when I can logically break them down to make things easier.

 

Thanks

You can break them down however you like. There really isn't any standard way of doing things until you start using actual frameworks.
