[RESOLVED] using functions in different files

[slightlyeskew]

Hey All!

If I wanted to call a function in text file A from a different file, text file B... how would I go about doing that?

Thanks for your time!

to use a function it has to be defined
so in whatever file the function is
it has to be included in the script where function will be used

in your case the file B would have to do an include('file A')

one good way is to keep All functions in one or several separate php-files
has only functions, definitions, but does nothing else
many softwares have such separate file
/includes/common_functions.php

there are even softwares that has one include file for each function, or type of functions
/includes/display_functions.php
/includes/database_functions.php
/includes/user_functions.php

Use include(). Next time please take the time to search google. :p

include, like print and echo, is not a function, so use include and not include().

I've always thought the manual was a bit silly for include since it gives include() as the title and yet uses include without the braces for examples
