Yesideez Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Just added a timer to the pages on my website so I know how long it takes for pages to load and it made me think of this question... I have a collection of PHP functions, some are used in many scripts, some are only used in a few. At the moment they total around 15KB and there's no doubt this number will grow. I do my best to optimise as much as possible as often as possible and was wondering whether it makes sense to place them all into one file and use require_once or whether they're best left as single files and have a few require_once calls in each script?

Daniel0 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I'd place them in one file if that were the only options. But if I did this myself I would store them in classes categorizing the functions, each with their own file. For instance a timer class, a cookie handling class, a session handling class etc. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/40078-solved-functions-storing-and-using/#findComment-193856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesideez Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Thanks, I've never used classes. Do you have a link where I could read up on them please?

magnetica Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Your best bet is to just Google it But as a starter: <?php class AboutNumbers //with a few functions for numbers inside { var $var1; var $var2; function set_numbers($number1, $number2) { $this->var1 = $number1; $this->var2 = $number2; } function add_numbers() { return ($this->var1 + $this->var2); } } class AboutNumbers //with a few functions of strings inside { $str1 = "Hello"; $str2 = " World"; function concat_strings() { $newstring = $str1 . " out there " . $str2; } } ?> Basically classes are a way of just catergorises your functions Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/40078-solved-functions-storing-and-using/#findComment-193945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesideez Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Yeah but it's how they're set up, stored, activated and used that I've no idea about. It's just gone midnight here so I'll be off to bed in about 45 minutes which is when this programme ends. Good job I don't start work tomorrow until 2pm!

Yesideez Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Yeah - Ottery St Mary in Devon btw, just adapted the main index.php on my website for classes, made a class and it works!!! I'm so happy right now I'm tempted to stay up longer and code some more but I mustn't get started on something new as it's far too late. Don't want to get out of bed at 1pm tomorrow like I have been!

Yesideez Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 About 70 miles. 10 from here to Exeter, then 54 to Plymouth then about 5 more but I think I could be wrong with that 5...
