Good news, its very easy.


Set up any directory structure you like - it doesn't have to be in the
web root hierarchy. For example I have a sub-directory for classes then
project-based directories for tools, testing, and so on.

Now look at php.ini and you will see include_path. (Also if you're
interested look at set_include_path which might come in handy if stuffed
into a project specific 'configuration' php include.

In your code put require_once('myCleverClass.php'); and you're away.

FWIW All my code is PHP-generates-HTML ie used as a 'proper' language
not as a bit of extra in an HTML file.
