Multiple Includes vs. One Long Include (Functions)

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

 



I was just wondering if there was any thought one way or another on the best practice for doing this.

Lets say I have 10 functions that I want to reuse on my site. Not every page needs every function. So I move the function to an external page and then require it for the page.

The question is, is it better to have all 10 of those functions in a single file that is called once from each PHP page, even though some will not be used, or is it better to put one function per include and then on each PHP page call just the functions that I need for that page?

require ("all10.php"); // one long page, but only called once.

vs.

require ("function1.php");	// multiple short pages with multiple calls.
require ("function2.php");
require ("function4.php");
require ("function6.php");
require ("function8.php");
