FILENAME versus filename.php

[npn2531]

I have written a program that fits in into admin/orders.php, that adds more functionality to the searchbox. The program resides on a separate file in the admin folder and

 

includes('myprogram.php');

 

in the appropriate spot in admin/order.php. adds the program nicely.

 

Other than important organizational reasons , what would be the advantage of defining the file in admin/filenames?

 

and using say:

 

includes(FILENAMES_MYPROGRAM);

 

Thank you for your assistance.

It fits in with the osC "scheme".

 

And if someone wanted to change the page name, it's easier and safer to edit a "filenames" file than the actual code file.

 

Mistakes in the filename file are easier to see and catch.
