The return value for require/include/require_once/include_once should be 1 unless it was overridden in the included file. However when doing require_once/include_once *twice*, the second time around it returns bool(true) instead of int(1). Test script: --------------- <?php var_dump(include_once('include_file_test.php')); var_dump(include_once('include_file_test.php')); /* Outputs: int(1) bool(true) */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70031&edit=1
