Header files in PHP

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

 



Folks:

Over the years, I've heard a lot of back and forth about require_once,
require, include, include_once and he like. Most of it centers around
the CPU time taken to execute these calls.

The "C" way to do something similar is to define a constant in a header
file and then check for its existence in the C code file. In PHP, this
would be roughly like this:

LIBRARY FILE:

define('CONST_DATE', TRUE);

CODE FILE:

if (!defined('CONST_DATE'))
	include('date.lib.php');

Has anyone ever compared execute times to see if something like this
would be "cheaper" than include/require[_once]? Any thoughts on it?
