Collection of functions

[NZ_Kiwis]

So I have a large number of functions I need for my site, many functions will be used in multiple places so...

How can I have a folder called "functions" where I can load in many *.php pages full of functions and from my index.php page I read and include any pages within my functions folder without needing to include them one by one on index.php and adding a new one when I upload a new page

I think it sounds like the functions should be grouped together in whatever combination seems logical into a set of classes, possibly as static methods. Then a bit of use of PHP autoloading to load such a class when needed. Assuming class name "foo" and function (method) name "bar", any time your code called "foo::bar()", it would automatically load the foo class's file if not already loaded -- assuming you got your autoloading function set up correctly.

Nog's probably right, but there are lots of ways to skin this cat.

Before we all went OO, it was more like this, assuming all functions files had .php extensions and were found under "includes/":

index.php:

<?php
//include all my functions
include "includes/functions.php";

includes/functions.php:

<?php

$dir = __DIR__;

$files = glob("$dir/*php");

foreach ($files as $file) {
   require_once( $file );
}
