#48056 [Bgs]: require works differently in the interactive console

ID: 48056 User updated by: neerolyte at gmail dot com Reported By: neerolyte at gmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.9 New Comment: I can't see anything in the manual that even mentions the interactive console and it states that require is identical to include except for it's error reporting and include should return anything passed to return inside the included file. As for the PHP Bugs guide I can't see what I've done wrong there either. Would anyone mind giving me more of a clue?

Reproduce code: --------------- include.php: <?php return "stuff from include\n"; ?> interactive code: print_r(require("include.php")); Expected result: ---------------- $ echo '<?php return "stuff from include\n"; ?>' > include.php $ php -r 'print_r(require("include.php"));' stuff from include $ php -a Interactive shell php > print_r(require("include.php")); stuff from include Actual result: -------------- $ echo '<?php return "stuff from include\n"; ?>' > include.php $ php -r 'print_r(require("include.php"));' stuff from include $ php -a Interactive shell php > print_r(require("include.php")); 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48056&edit=1
