+# This function makes it easier to put everything in functions like you should.
+#
+# Instead of putting everything in the global namespace and having it run when
+# you include the file, put everything in functions. This function makes it so
+# you can both include (require_once) the file, and call its main function in
+# one easy step.
+
+# EXAMPLE
+#
+# list($user, $pass) = file_run('db_password.php');
+#
+# the file db_password.php would be like so:
+#
+#     function db_password() {
+#           return array('me', 'secret');
+#     }
+
+function file_run($filename) {
+    require_once($filename);
+    ereg_replace('.*/', '', $filename);
+    $func = basename($filename, '.php');
+    return $func();
+}
