I have several functions that I wrote and I use regularly on my servers, is there a way I can add them to the core so I don\'t have to include them from external files?
If you want your function to always be available, without including it, do this:
Create your function in an php file.
In your php.ini search for the option "auto_prepend_file" and add your php file to that line, like this: auto_prepend_file = "/path/to/my_superglobal_function.php"
Or if you write without a path like this: auto_prepend_file = "my_superglobal_function.php" It will look in your include_path in php.ini to find the file.
