Splitting one file into multiple files, how it will affect on performance of site?

Lets say I have index.php file, in which I have following included files

contain of file index.php
---------------------------
include('header.php');
include('footer.php');
---------------------------

contain of header.php
---------------------------
include('cssfiles.php');
include('manu.php');
---------------------------

What is the performance of index.php file with above structure v/s only one file that contains whole code ? If anyone have any link related to this, can also suggest it.

Generally for this type of code management, the differences in load times are so miniscule, that the benefits of using such a system outweighs the performance load. I would encourage anyone to look into MVC models for better code management.

The only way you'd see a performance spike is if you had hundreds of files, and then I'd implore you to look at __autoload(). But From what you've posted there, it looks like a fairly standard and common practice for PHP developers.

You can read this for a bit of clarity if you still need more information.
