How to include your files the right way:
[code language=”css”]
function wpse1403_bootstrap()
{
// Here we load from our includes directory
// This considers parent and child themes as well
locate_template( array( ‘inc/foo.class.php’ ), true, true );
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘wpse1403_bootstrap’ );
[/code]
The same works in plugins too.
How to get the right path or URi
Also take a look at file system API functions like:
home_url()
plugin_dir_url()
plugin_dir_path()
admin_url()
get_template_directory()
get_template_directory_uri()
get_stylesheet_directory()
get_stylesheet_directory_uri()
etc.
How to reduce the number of include/require
If you need to fetch all files from a directory go with
[code language=”css”]
foreach ( glob( ‘path/to/folder/*.php’ ) as $file )
include $file;
[/code]
Keep in mind that this ignores failures (maybe good for production use)/not loadable files.
To alter this behavior you might want to use a different config during development:
[code language=”css”]
$files = ( defined( ‘WP_DEBUG’ ) AND WP_DEBUG )
? glob( ‘path/to/folder/*.php’, GLOB_ERR )
: glob( ‘path/to/folder/*.php’ )
foreach ( $files as $file )
include $file;
[/code]
