I’m in the process of creating a PHP site. It uses multiple PHP classes, which are currently all in one PHP include.
However, I am using Aptana IDE, and the file is now starting to crash it (it’s around 400 lines). So I was wondering whether there would be any negative impact of including all the files seperately.
Current:
main file:
include("includes.php");
includes.php:
contains php classes
Suggested:
mainfile: main file:
include("includes.php");
includes.php:
include("class1.php");
include("class2.php")
Multiple PHP includes are fine, and 400 lines should not be a big deal. My concern would be with the Aptana IDE before I’d even consider my code to be the problem.
Breaking up your code into multiple PHP modules helps you to take a more object-oriented approach and simplifies your code base. I recommend it.
