require_once question

[isaac_cm]

Hello,
I need to make some PHP utility functions in external file , and call this function with some parameters, can I use require_once statement for that, and how ?

thanks

you can require_once the file the call the functions...

[code=php:0]
require_once('file.php');

$func = new Function;
$func->Connect();
[/code]

just an example...

Not directly, but of course you can still....

[code=php:0]
require_once "somefunction.php";
$result = somefunction("foo","bar");
[/code]

thorpe, I prefer your method of calling a function it is very simple and more logical,

and thanks to "ProjectFear", could you please explain what those statements do, and why ?

$func = new Function;
$func->Connect();

[code]
$func = new Function;
$func->Connect();
[/code]
that kind of code is only used for classes.

yeh sorry i was just using a class example. i didnt no if you were using classes or basic functions. if you want to learn about classes search google for OOP.
