PHP variables in included files

[fabiuz]

Hi,

in order to optimized a little bit my web pages (they have too much php code inside) I am considering the opurtunity to work with "include" command.

So me intention is to create particular functions inside this files and than include them in pages where I need.

I have two questions:

1) may I use tha same variables names in the different files that I am going to inclued in the same page or should all the variables be different ?

2) Is this a good way to work or is there any better solution to make a little order in php pages ?

Thank you very much!

1) yes ofcourse, 'included' PHP code is inserted into the script at the point where the include() is found, the two scripts become one, and act asif they are one script.

2) it is good if you keep things clear.
It is never ever good if an included scripts only works if the 'parent' scripts set certain vars. The best way to use includes is to write functions and put the functions in the included files.
