[Resolved] where do you declare functions?

[jadeddog]

hey there all.... so ive been looking around the forums and i cant seem to figure this out, so im hoping one of you will be able to help me

i know that you can write the function anywhere in the same .php file and use it anywhere in that file..... what im wanting to do is write a function and have access to it in whatever .php file im using.... for example im gonna be writing a function that does a search on my SQL DB..... this search ability is going to be accessible on many different pages on the site im developing, and i dont want to have to write it each time for each page it is on

can i put the search function in a file called search_function.php and then just include this file (include("seach_function.php")😉 each time i want to run the function?

thx for any help

just place all the globally accessible functions into a single file then at the top of your other scripts use [man]include[/man] to include this file in them.
