Bug #16150 Updated: include_once Broken?

ID: 16150 Updated by: dcourey@wizardcomputer.com Reported By: dcourey@wizardcomputer.com Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) PHP/4.1.2 m PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: Well, actually we are not retrieving data from a remote file, we are executing external script (which I believe is the primary purpose of "include_once"). The full qualified URL simply circumvents the relative path issues!! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-19 10:55:14] sander@php.net Sorry, I misread the report. include_once() shouldn't open and include the file twice. Anyway, you shouldn't use include_once to grab data from a remote file, use fopen() & co for that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-19 04:17:19] sander@php.net The bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare getID() in http://www.mySite.com/getUserID on line 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16150&edit=1
