Re: Re: include/require vs performance

I guess that PHP will close file 1 before it opens file 2 and so on.. For example : include 'foo'; include 'bar'; When bar is being opened foo is already closed. Leon Mergen wrote:

Is there, was there ever issue around including a lot files via include(). I am running things on a local server so it's hard to gauge.

I think that the only source that could cause any problems with too many files included will be your operating system (since that thing has certain limitations on a max number of locked files for example) . Other than that, I don't think so. I myself include about 15 files on certain pages. But it is easy to make a test or anything... Just make a PHP script that generates like 1000 php scripts called "include.test.x.php" , where x is is a number, then the contents of those scripts should by "<? include("include.test." . (x+1) . ".php");?>" or something like that... Then you are for sure, and you immediately also know how much performance is lost for including 1000 files :)
