How to make functions only file like a library, then call them externally. I appreciate someone give me a rope. Thanks.

Call them externally? Where would one do such a thing?

~ngungo what do you mean externally? Do you just mean from outside of the same file?

You can just use require() for that.

I got it work now. I have a question though.

Are require() and include() interchageable?

read the manual on them. in the short, include will throw an error but not kill the script if i cant find the file. require will kill the script if it can not find the file. i recommend require_once() for all your requireing needs

edit: .....did I just beat feyd!?

There are some slight differences as reading the manual pages on them will detail. As far as most things are concerned, they are interchangeable.
