Reusing Code and Writing Functions CHAPTER 5 145 Further Reading The use of include(), require(), function, and return are also explained in the online manual. To find out more about concepts such as recursion, pass by value/reference, and scope that affect many languages, you can look at a general computer science text book, such as Dietel and Dietel’s C++ How To Program. Next Now that you are using include files, require files, and functions to make your code more maintainable and reusable, the next chapter addresses object-oriented software and the support offered in PHP. Using objects allows you to achieve goals similar to the concepts. | Reusing Code and Writing Functions Chapter 5 145 Further Reading The use of include require function and return are also explained in the online manual.
