Including Functions; one file or many?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi

I'm writing a set of db abstraction functions for an internal app which will 
give us a set of simple function calls for dealing with the db, like 

$result = db_AddEmployee($EmployeeData);
$EmployeeData = db_GetEmployee($EmployeeID);

etc.

There will be quite a few functions needed to deal with all the different 
ways the app touches the db, so my question is:

Am I better off putting all these functions into one big include file (which 
could get pretty big) or using a seperate 'include' file for each function?

I'm thinking about the tradeoff between simplifying code by only having a 
single include file (parsing a lot of functions that aren't used, but less 
disk access) and having several include files (no extra funcs but lots more 
disk access). 

I realise there probably isn't a 'correct' way to do this, I'm curious about 
which methods folk here use in situations like this.

TIA in advance for any advice,

Mark
