The best way to use same code more than once? /PHP

I'm pretty new in php, but I have a question that I can't find to it a good solution.

I'm comming from ASP.NET backround and I'm looking for something like a folder that will contain all the code that I use it more than one time (Like the App_Code folder in ASP.NET).

Is there something like this in PHP (So I can call a function / class from other page)?

Wish for help, thanks!

Solution

  • Keep the code in a separate file, say common.php or lib/myfile.php

    Then, just require() it:

    require("common.php");

    Or you can look at the fancy class loading provided by Packagist but for the most compatability or simplicity the above method will work
