Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Mostly I was curious if the procedure I mentioned was a good one or if there was something better to be doing. Thanks for the super quick reply. :)

Though if you have enough functions, you could justify making separate files for your database functions, output functions, backend functions, etc. Martin Clifford Homepage: http://www.completesource.net Developer's Forums: http://www.completesource.net/forums/ >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/16/02 04:59PM >>> Hello everyone, I'm a newbie and have a question on style that I've not seen addressed anywhere. I have a large number of frequently used functions that I'm trying to find a good way to organize. The method I'm thinking of using is to simply create a .php file called, for example, functions.php. Then, just include the file at the top of each page that needs any of the functions, and just call them as needed. My question is this- if that file gets very large with tons of different functions, is that an inefficient method? I'm not entirely clear on how PHP is parsed and passed to the client. I assume it would be best to divide up the functions into multiple files (ex. dbfunctions.php, etc.), but is that still the best method? Basically, I'm just curious on how you guys handle things like this. Thanks in advance.
