PHP add code to every new page

Question

I am adding some include("file.php"); to several php pages.

Is there any way to be sure the include is added to every PHP page I create so I don't need to manually add those lines of code and also to prevent human error. If it is not possible to automatically do this, what would be the best way to achieve this.

I need to do this so I can do something like checking it the user is already authenticated then continue if not then redirect to the login page.

If the PHP are classes, checkout __autoload feature in PHP: php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.autoload.php — Raptor

You want to use auto_prepend_file. Set this directive in your php.ini or .htaccess file to the path to your file.php file and any PHP file accessed will automatically have the contents of the config file prepended to it.

For .htaccess

php_value auto_prepend_file /full/path/to/file/file.php

or Try this

foreach (glob("classes/*.php") as $filename)
{
    include $filename;
}

Sounds like this is an overkill. I would recommend a require.php containing all paths of php required to load and use __autoload feature.

If the PHP are OOP classes & PHP 5 is used, here is a way to load classes ONLY when they are needed:

$class_dir = array(
    'some/class/path/model/',
    'some/class/path/dao/',
    'some/class/path/service/',
);
function __autoload($class_name) {
    global $class_dir;
    foreach ($class_dir as $directory) {
        if (file_exists($directory . $class_name . '.php')) {
            require_once($directory . $class_name . '.php');
            return;
        }
    }
}
