dprichard Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I have two queries that I will be running at the top of each page on my site once the user is logged in to pull in different information about them and to show the company's information. Would I be better off having these at the top of each page in the code or having them in includes and calling the includes?

GingerRobot Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 If anything is done on many pages, then it is generally better to have them as includes. That way, they can be easily modified if any requirements change. The only thing is you should make sure they are necessary to the file when you include them - otherwise you will be slowing your site down for nothing.

dprichard Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 So, is there any performance loss having an include versus putting it directly in the page?

Corona4456 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I would recommend creating a functions.php file and putting your queries in a function and just call that function when you need it, so if you are going to use those functions just use the 'include' keyword to have them brought in to your php file.

Their may be but it is definitely not noticeable, plus this reduces rework .

dprichard Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 I was reading about functions. Is there an advantage to using a function versus an include?

GingerRobot Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Firstly, no - there are no performance issues with using includes(to the best of my knowledge) since php processes an include as if the code were there in the file. Second, a function is a quite differant thing to an include - however, often people put functions which will be used throughout their site in one file, which they then include where it is needed.

If code is included then that code will be executed (unless it's in a function) that's the difference.
