#15438 [Opn->Bgs]: include_once fails when comparing output to a value

ID: 15438 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: michael@gamepoint.net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php Thank you for your interest in PHP. You can only check if include/include_once failed or succeeded if the included file returns a value. This is clearly documented at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-09 06:17:06] some@gamepoint.net I'm not sure this is actually a bug. I gather the returned value from an include is the one you specify in the included file with 'return $var' Read more at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php about return() in included files. If you want to evaluate if an include was succesfull you could add: $var = true; return $var at the end of the included file, but this should also do the trick: ((int) @include_once("../lib/test.php")) or die("Don't exist"); which is probably just a check if there's some warning text just like michael already demonstrated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-08 10:51:58] derick@php.net Actually you can check if an include failed or not like this, but I think the parser gets confused if you use the '== false'. Making this a scripting engine problem. Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-08 09:48:32] sander@php.net RTM! You can't include_once check for succes on include/include_once. include(_once) is not a function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-07 17:21:40] michael@gamepoint.net When trying to check if include_once succeeded i came up the following bug (i believe): if( include_once("test1.php") == false ) { print "Failed to include file"; } Warning: Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/home/michael/www/bug.php on line 6 Removing '== false' removes the problem. My configuration is: FreeBSD 4.5 Apache 1.3.22 PHP 4.1.1 Configure options: './configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-apxs' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15438&edit=1
