What do people do with required files? I have a file called config.php which contains all my functions. It is 329526 bytes. Should I split this up into other files? I don't think so, but what do others think? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't think so, but what do others think? I too am curious about a recommended or best practice. I create a function file that contains numerous functions for generating forms that are used more than once in a site and it becomes large when the forms are complex. But the alternative is to bloat the individual files by including the function code on each page that uses it. Or, if you split the one, large file into some number of smaller files, it increases the administrative burden of knowing what is in each smaller file and requiring the correct sub-file in the right context rather than routinely requiring the one catch-all file every time one or more function is needed.

Thanks Are you 100% positive that the get_total() function is defined in your functions.php file ? Check it, make sure there is no typos because this seems synonymous with a function not being in an included file anywhere, or having a typo in the function name defined.

Re: [PHP] newbie : how to access functions in seperate files???
A few things to consider:
1) double check the include path.
2) if you're not the appropriate file is being included, then user
REQUIRE, as that will stop the program.
3) Variable Scope
Your function variables may be out of scope. Double check them, or
make them global.
4) If you include a file from within a function, then the scope of that
file is only WITHIN that function.
{something to that line...}
double check your variable scopes.
hope that helped.

Heres what I have so far. I've put all the fiels into one folder, and i know
the paths are correct since they don't give an include error. The error
resides in line 6 of test.php where i try to call a function which is in
function.php
the test.php file :

news_link, news_link_style FROM news WHERE news_id = '$id';
if(!$result = mysql_query($sql, $db))
return(ERROR);
if(!$row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
