Incuding a .php on every page without include()

[jamygolden]

I want to include a file on every page. I’ve come across this htaccess trick:

php_value auto_prepend_file /usr/www/users/website/includes/functions.php

To my delight, it works perfectly. I would just like to know what the standard practice is. How does wordpress achieve this?

Doesn’t WordPress uses things like get_footer() to include the footer on every page? Don’t know if thats exactly what you’re looking for though.

I’m not using WordPress. I asked if anyone knows hoe WordPress achieves this.

It’s loaded in the wp-settings.php file.

// Load the functions for the active theme, for both parent and child theme if applicable.

if ( TEMPLATEPATH !== STYLESHEETPATH && file_exists( STYLESHEETPATH . '/functions.php' ) )

include( STYLESHEETPATH . '/functions.php' );

if ( file_exists( TEMPLATEPATH . '/functions.php' ) )

include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/functions.php' );
