It might be a simple question for the local die-hards among here, but i'm really wondering about how developers arrange their scripts and keep their map structures. today i was looking for the best way to keep my scripts clear and to put them into maps so i have a clear overview. the same thing i would do for the scripts, using the functions i have and throwing them in 1 or more php documents. i can not find it how it should be done. is it a good idea to put a couple of functions in just 1 document? like sessions and login/logout functions? in my idea i would only need to include a document in the header of my website and then i'm done, right? some thoughts, ideas and tips would be appreciated. kind regards taco

Hi T, One way I've found is to set up separate pages. session.php database.php forms.php etc.. Then in each you create a class named the same EG for session.php <?php class Session { /session vars var $username = ""; function Session(){

	      //constructor

} //call your different session functions //set username for eg. } $session = new Session; ?> Then call on, say, the username var from a page. Eg: view_acct.php <?php include("scripts/session.php"); <html> ... <input name="username" value="<?php echo($session->username); ?>" /> ... </html> A very loose example, but hope it puts you on a good path..
