Well connecting to a database, etc. does take overhead above and beyond a function. So yes, it does save resources to include it. And I am not completely sure of the way PHP handles things internally, but I have noticed that functions don't cause PHP to yelp and moan unless they are called (for some errors). Plus if a function uses several kb of memory include_once or require_once() ing them /will/ save resources on a server. -Dan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
