RE: [PHP] Include (.php) from .php

well, there's no difference at all. you can have a foot.php, foot.inc, foot.txt, foot.maxim_maletsky, justfoot ... nothing will happen, the parser seeing a file included just switches to it and continues to parse it until it ends, then it comes back to the original file where it goes wild till the EOF. just a connection to another file, whatever the extension is. It is always a time for parser to switch, so more includes - slower the software gets.. nothing specific that I know about the extension. -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Llewellin [mailto:charlie@llewellin.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2000 8:03 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Include (.php) from .php What (if any) is the downside of including or requiring a file with a .php extension (ie a footer) from a file with a .php extension? For example, I have a self-contained "footer.php" that I call from both legacy .html files and new .php pages, which obviously makes life simpler. Can anyone see a problem with this? "footer.php" does not use any variables our reference anything outside itself.
