Where should I put my php/javascript files?

As we know, there are 3 user folders: languages, modules, templates.

I want to know which best folder to put my php or javascript files that contain functions or business logic?

For example, I modify the tpl_header.php by adding this code:

<table border="0">
<tr>
     <td valign="bottom" align="right" class="time">
          <?php include('time.php'); ?>
     </td>
</tr>
</table>

You could see that I've include 'time.php'. It contains javascript codes to display the current time.

So, where should I put the 'time.php' and what zen cart function to include the file?

Scrap the tables!!!

All you need is this in a div where you want it to appear

?php echo time

You got me wrong. It's not about to display time but where should I put my php files that will be included by another files.

There are various places

The modules/ is a good place for modules
functions/ is a good place for functions
for js, you can put it in modules/pages/somepage/(check the default pages for example)
Otherwise, if the js is global, just place it in the js folder in the template folder.

Thanks. That's clear my doubt. I thought it's not recommended to add files in that folder (especially modules/ and functions/).

In functions, you have extra_functions folder, in modules you can use override if you have to.
