It isn't good programming style to use one PHP file per HTML page. Classes
should be based on functionality, as should PHP files. If all your pages
were to do with a membership system then you should have a Member class with
methods appropriate to that functionality.

If you've got a group of functions that perform similar actions you should
include them in a functions.member.inc.php file and include them where you
need them. You should group functions/methods by functionality rather than
per page as it will reduce the repetition element, imo.
