IIS: How can many websites have the same code/class?

[ZeratulsDomain]

Lets say I run IIS with 100 websites on it, all 100 websites need a single class. Instead of copying/pasting 100 times, is there a better way?

I cannot create another "site" with only the class because that site will recognize "include" as a regular HTTP request the handler will pass it to PHP to "run it". Even if I remove the handler for only that site, then any user inside out network would be able to pull up the PHP...

edit: Maybe if there are no solutions to this, I can do a work around: Configure IIS to treat PHP code as regular text. Then whenver a website request it, it will simple return the PHP code. Then I can block ports so nobody can access it but the server itself... The problem with this workaround: I do not know how to tell IIS to just send out the PHP code.

edit2: Well I renamed it to textfiles for now. So this workaround is working... But I am looking for a real solution to this problem.

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.cor...i.include-path

php.ini

include_path=".;c:\php\includes"

So, in c:\php\includes\ you might have sharedclass1.php, sharedclass2.php, etc.

And then, on your sites you might have the following:

c:\sites\docroot1\index.php

include('sharedclass1.php');
include('sharedclass2.php'); 

c:\sites\docroot2\index.php

include('sharedclass1.php'); 

c:\sites\docroot3\index.php

include('sharedclass2.php'); 

etc.

The shared classes (libraries (includes (files) ) ) in this case don't really belong to any site. But, any site can include them.
