Advice on code organisation

[Freakish_05]

Evening all,

I've decided to give my personal website a thorough overhaul over the next few weeks. I originally created it in January and being my first hand coded site its sloppy and the code is badly organised.

I've recently got to grips with Photoshop so at least I can make the site LOOK a bit better

However, I want to re-organise my code because at the moment I have a separate file for each php action I'm thinking of creating something along the lines of a 'master' php script which uses various includes (EG: Input > Process > Output) that way I can keep all of my includes stuffed out of the way.

Could anyone enlighten me with how they organise their code to make everything more manageable.

Edit: Although I've never used them before, I think now is a good time to start looking into objects/functions/classes - are these good tools to use? If so how would I go about using them?

Cheers,

You might want to look into creating an MVC framework.

Functions and classes are excellent tools given the right application, definitely worth using in context. Take things by semantics: repetitive code sections? Make a function. Collection of functions working towards a common goal and sharing variables? Make a class.

It all depends on the scenario and scale of the project.
