Why update-profile-include?
Asked Modified Viewed 4,156 times

Hi,
Both in PHPFusion 6 and 7, the data from edit-profile.php is sent to update-profile-include.php and inserted to sql there. But why? Is it because of performance optimization or better security?
In e.g. both /administration and register.php the data is processed in the same file.

I find the question rather simple, yet none of the 100 viewers have been able to answer it. :(

Because it is easier to have one file for operation at users datas. And functions, which you can find there, aren't necessary for cms working, so the maincore.php don't have them. It's simple.

update-profile-include.php does not create any functions, as far as I can see. And wouldn't it be more logic and simple to process the data in edit-profile.php, if update-profile-include.php does not carry any security or optimizational reason?

bump. It cannot be that hard...

Well I don't know if I can give you the very best reason but here is what I got for you.
Too long files are never too good when working with PHP, and we divided the edit profile in two where edit_profile.php takes all the visual stuff and update_profile_include.php takes all the "behind the scene" stuff such as calling to the database. It's a bit better when working on it, if you are altering it visual you alter edit_profile.php else it's update_profile_include.php.
With the new User Fields included there shouldn't be any reasons why you should alter any of those files so it shouldn't matter to much for normal users. :)
Was that good enough for you?
