sharing PHP files across multiple Web sites

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 02.2004

Hello

I would like to support multiple Web sites using the same PHP files.
I have two options here:
1) Duplicate the PHP files for each Web site
2) Share a single copy of the PHP files for all Web sites

Is one option preferable to the other? Will I have performance problems if the files are shared?
What should be my considerations when choosing which option to take?

Not sure how you would configure things to SHARE the files.

Seems to me that it would be much easier to just duplicate the files, changing the things that need to be 'unique' for each site.

@pythoauthorMar 03.2004 — but that would mean that everytime I want to make a change to a page I will have to re-duplicate it.

isn't there a simpler way?

The problem I see with 'sharing' files is that websites are isolated from eachother on a server for a reason-security.

Now, if what you're trying to do is run multiple DOMAIN NAMES, i can do that with my hosting plans... For example: www.name1.com, www.name1.net, www.name1.org can all be stacked ontop of eachother.
