How to use a PHP class from another file?

by

You can use include/include_once or require/require_once

require_once('class.php');

Alternatively, use autoloading
by adding to page.php

<?php 
function my_autoloader($class) {
    include 'classes/' . $class . '.class.php';
}

spl_autoload_register('my_autoloader');

$vars = new IUarts(); 
print($vars->data);    
?>

It also works adding that __autoload function in a lib that you include on every file like utils.php.

There is also this post that has a nice and different approach.
