I'm re-writing a medium-sized commercial site in PHP. There will be elements that will on nearly every page. I was considering writing each element as a program and then using INCLUDE statements wherever I wanted that element displayed. Now I'm wondering if grouping all those elements into 1 file and defining them as functions would save on system resources and improve speed.
In other words is....
<?
include "Menu.php";
include "Ads.php";
include "Headlines.php";
?>
More or less efficient than...
<?
include "Routines.php";
Menu();
Ads();
Headlines();
?>
Thanks,
