PEAR like, php-csl, code library - anyone doing this?

[juglesh]

howdy, I am using this code library thing:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-csl/

http://www.php-csl.com/snippets/
and had an idea. I was thinking about keeping a bunch of functions in
the root dir of my server, so I can re-use my code from any of my
websites without having to copy each func or code into the current
site that i’m working on. So, It’d be kinda like PEAR, you’d just go:

Code:
include "/home/library/thefunction.php;
$var = thefunction();

That php-csl that i linked to would have to be modified, cuz it stores
the snippets in *.s files. No biggie. Also, it would be cool to have
the code you need for including the func be in a text area that could
have a copy to clipboard button.

Anyone doing such a thing? Have any security concerns? Other
thoughts?

thanks,
juglesh

Hmmm, interesting.

This is a really bad place to put things.

I'm guessing the '.s' files are some sort of composite of the PHP code, the
documentation and meta-data? Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to just write
your own wrapper for extracting the PHP code from the .s file? That way you
don't have to maintain 2 seperate repositories. e.g.

require_once "http://localhost/snippets_archive.php?snip=someref";

(make sure you know about code injection, safe_mode and open_basedir before
you try this at home kids).

how come? actually, I was going to put them in the same dir as my
cpanel 'users'. In a sub domain.

got that clipboard part going, too.

Yeah, I just rewrote the thing, mine just reads php files.

require_once "http://localhost/snippets_archive.php?snip=someref";

It doesnt include the snip, it just reads it and echos it.
