Re: New zend_compile.c to solve all of the duplicate function problems

An earlier thread with the following subject makes some of our points: [PHP-DEV] Bug #13616 Updated: Compiler complains about function declaration after return is calle Essentially, to answer your question. include_once() is a very poor way to write modular code that will be used across different projects and across different developers. You are placing the responsibility of not accidentally redefining function names on the user of the function library or code file and not on the file itself as it should be and as it is in other languages such as C. To put it shortly, it's a backwards way of including files and it's a poor programming technique.
