Bug #15065: include behaviour

From: tit.petric@telemach.net Operating system: im guessing, all PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: include behaviour If the include() occurs inside a function within the calling file, then all of the code contained in the called file will behave as though it had been defined inside that function. << this is the current behaviour, straight out of the manual for include(),.. now, this gets tricky, if you have function includes over 3-4-5 or more levels of includes, for example index.php calls subfiles() which includes blah.php which calls modules.php which includes file.php and so on.. usage of global variables in theese files forces people to use global definitions like in functions on a global-current-file-scope, or in one of the lower levels in functions,.. maybe if would be a good idea to make a php.ini switch like force_global_includes to change this behaviour, so the variables in the includes always get defined in the global scope? -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=15065&edit=1
