Give the included file a php extension; it better for security. If you still want the .inc you could use filename.inc.php You can store your includes anywhere on the server file path that you can access (including non-public directories) or in the includes directory. My example assumes the include is in the same directory as the script calling it.include('mynewclass.inc'); // i'd give this file a .php extension
$variableName = new mynewclass;

Yep.
The anytime you need it in the script thereafter just do $variableName->functionName()
OOP is great and once you get used to it you'll be moving a lot of your scripts to these very portable classes.
