When I first started programming in PHP I used the second method you
mentioned. I had a single file I called utils.php and it contained
all the functions I could possibly need throughout my site.
Unfortunately, this file grew to be over 10,000 lines and most of the
time I only needed a couple of functions for each script I loaded. I
have now abandoned that method and use a more modular approach. I
have a lib folder that contains much smaller and specialized scripts
(mainly classes). Now I only include what I need. I found it much
easier to maintain than having a single file.
Take care,
Floyd

Hi,
It isn't really a programming question, but rather a structural.
Let's suppose I have a PHP page, which is built by other PHP files'
includes.
Which is the better approach:
in a switch-like statement I include the required PHP files, which
contain all the functions, and the HTML code to provide the
functionality, or
create a base PHP file which contains all the funcionality, and the
PHP files only contain calls for these functions, and the HTML code?
I think the previous method gives more control and it is more
repairable, but the later method gives more modularity. With your
experiences, what method gives the better overall usability?
Thanks,
