Bug #11836: Require nor Include works inner a class file

From: developer@libero.it Operating system: ms nt 4 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Require nor Include works inner a class file Require nor Include works inner a class file. I have 200+ classes that have a common declaration of variables and methods. Everytime I need to modify this declarations I have to modify this 200+ files. If I could use require or include there I had only one file to modify. This is the file where I define the class, it's only a LITTLE example: ===== class_test.php ===== <? class test { var $b=0; var $c=1; function test() { //this is the constructor //some code here } include("common_declarations.php"); //same with require } ?> ======== end ======== And this is the file where I have the common declarations for 200+ files. ===== common_declarations.php ===== <? var $common_variable1=1; function common_method1 () { $this->b++; } function common_method2 ($p=1) { $this->b=$p; } //etc.... ?> ===== end ===== This does not work, the error is: ======== Parse error: parse error, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION' or T_FUNCTION' or `T_VAR' or `'}'' ======== -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11836&edit=1
