#25108 [NEW]: include doesn't return the right value

From: mailling at gmx dot co dot uk Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4CVS-2003-08-16 (stable) PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: include doesn't return the right value Description: ------------ It seems that the variable returned by a correct insert changed from the last PHP version. Is it a change in the behavior or a bug? If I include a file and everything is fine, it returns NULL, but it should return 1 or true (it does true, but the documentation says 1) Reproduce code: --------------- // The file base.inc.php exists, base.inc.php2 doesn't $a = require_once(PROJECT_BASE . '/include/base.inc.php'); $b = require_once(PROJECT_BASE . '/include/base.inc.php'); $c = include_once(PROJECT_BASE . '/include/base.inc.php2'); var_dump($a); // return NULL var_dump($b); // return true var_dump($c); // return false Expected result: ---------------- true (or 1?) true (or 1?) false Actual result: -------------- NULL true false -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25108&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=25108&r=gnused
