[PHP] include/require vs performance
i am designing a small app that obviuosly works best when I have a lot of global files with functions, which cut down on editing. I will likely have a main page that will contain modules and also load all of the required includes like config etc. in total some 10 files will be reqested. Is there, was there ever issue around including a lot files via include(). I am running things on a local server so it's hard to gauge. Thansk in advance.

I don't understand that comment. includes/requires are always (well nearly anyway) local to the server regardless of where the request is coming from. So if you have a test box and it is fast enough for you, then go with it. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] include/require vs performance
These files are parsed by the interpreter... They are not sent to the client, so I you are thinking bandwidth I dont see how it would affect it. Unless they all output a bunch of data. Of course there will be some overhead for PHP to interpret all that code.

Re: [PHP] include/require vs performance
He likely ment that his local server is simply fast enough that any speed defference is unnoticeable, but on a shared host this might make some difference. Use include/require as you are more comfortable with it. Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: Is there, was there ever issue around including a lot files via include().

Re: [PHP] include/require vs performance
Sorry if this was not 100% clear. In a nutshell the app I'm making will be available for poeple to use. My feeling is that there will be users using shared servers, which under a stress tend to suck. The only thing in this one I'm doing that;s new to me is having some 20 includes loaded as I need them, sometimes up to 10 at a time, hence the concern. Thanks for all your responses, I got enough info to go on. ANother words, this should not be a problem.
