:: Hi,
::
:: is it possible to globally include(...) a file inside a
:: function?
::
:: What I am trying to do is prevent loading files until they
:: are really needed
::
:: currently I have something like...
::
:: // -----------------------
:: include 'large_a.php';
:: include 'large_b.php';
:: include 'large_c.php';
:: include 'large_d.php';
::
:: // -----------------------
::
:: but this is not ideal because I might never need those
:: files...
:: I would much rather have something like
::
:: // -----------------------
:: function load_large_class( $a )
:: {
:: if( $a == $condition_a )
:: include 'large_a.php';
:: if( $a == $condition_b )
:: include 'large_b.php';
:: if( $a == $condition_c )
:: include 'large_c.php';
:: if( $a == $condition_d )
:: include 'large_d.php';
:: }
:: // -----------------------
::
:: but as you know that will only locally include the file,
:: all classes, variables etc will only 'exist' for the life
:: of the function.
::
:: Would there be an easy way around this problem?
::
:: I guess I could always have a small file that says
::
:: // -----------------------
:: if( $a == $condition_a )
:: include 'large_a.php';
:: if( $a == $condition_b )
:: include 'large_b.php';
:: if( $a == $condition_c )
:: include 'large_c.php';
:: if( $a == $condition_d )
:: include 'large_d.php';
:: // -----------------------
::
:: but for the purpose of what I am trying to do I would
:: prefer a function
:: as it would be neater to maintain/use.
::
:: Many thanks in advance
::
:: Simon
Yes.
