Typically if there's something you want to use/do more than once, you'd 
either:

a) include it from it's own file (as suggested), or
b) declare it as a function, and then group the functions into logical 
include files for certain parts of the website

If you had this one-off problem, then you'd just include it PHP code 
inline where needed:



If you had 4 or 5 date & time functions you used site-wide, I'd declare 
them each as functions, then group those date and time functions into a 
single include file (eg datetime.php), include it at the top of each 
page (or where needed), and call the functions as needed.
