Objects in header file?

[jmarco]

When I used C++ a few years ago I declared my classes in a file.h, and pointed all of my file.cpp files towards that file.h so I could use the classes in my file.cpp program without having to redeclare the classes.

I just wrote my first series of classes in php but wanted to use those classes in several files. Is there a similar method to seperate the classes from the file.php files? Or do I have to redeclare my classes in every file.php file I want to use them in?

you can include files in php the same way as c++ using the include, require include_once, require_once functions

e.g include ("my_file.inc.php");
