Big PHP files

[Bob_PHP_Builder]

Ive created 2 files that have over 10,000 lines of code.. should i make these files smaller, (by making more files with less info)
at the moment they are just above 100kb?

[MarkR]

Yes you should. 10,000 line files make it difficult to find a given subroutine etc.

Split them up by function, I'd say, into separate includes.

Try to abstract out common functionality.

If a large part of those 10,000 are HTML, consider using a templating system.

Will it run slower either way?

[MarkR]

Yes, it probably will, but not by enough so that you notice or care.

If in doubt profile the application in a profiler e.g. APD
