Re: Website File Structure

[David T. <ju...@ba...>]

Or, we could use my personal favorite, a Document class that has begin("title")
and end() functions.

I'd have to say I'm more in favor of individual PHP files (instead of .inc's)
for each function:
  matchresult.php
  teams.php
  etc

But thats just me.
