This would allow a validity check for a file to be included with "include_once" or "require_once". These functions use the include path to find a file. Currently, I have programmed my own function called my_file_exists() to be used instead of file_exists() so the test is done on all directories in the include path. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74191&edit=1
