OOP design - Decentralizing methods in seperate files

I have two files: config.php and init.php.

config.php has a config class with configurations for various server setups. init.php has the init class with all the methods for business logic.

init extends config

I use the ezsql library for MySQL interfacing. I call it as a variable in init ($init->sql). So far so good.

My init.php has grown to be a huge file with numerous methods. Some pages use it just for calling ezsql. I want to move all the methods related to certain area of the site in their respective files and include those files only when I need them.

How do I implement this in actual code?

If you class is too large, it probably has too many responsibilities. See the SRP. You should probably restructure your application.

Perhaps you can use the autoload tool. There is a spl_autoload_register function that allows you to create rules to autoload classes. http://php.net/manual/en/function.spl-autoload-register.php
