RE: [PHP] Inc/Require within includes

I am new to php but have used perl for quite awhile and they are very similar, I don't use require much, I use include most of the time. You can do nested calls like that with include so you should be able to with require as well, since they are practically the same. But I found that when you make the second call, make sure that the path you specify is relative to the original script or else you will get errors. Hope this helps, Jess -----Original Message----- From: Antonio [mailto:antonio@webqual.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2000 2:12 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Inc/Require within includes Hi, I've been having some problems here - and I'm not sure whether PHP allows this or not. Here's the issue: Does PHP allow you to require one file from a script, and within the required file, require a second file? E.G. <?php require "required1.inc"; ?> ---- and in required1.inc <?php require "required2.inc"; ?> ---------- When I try to do this, I get a "Fatal error when opening required2.inc in required1.inc". Is there any way to get around this problem? Or am I doing something wrong? Is having two nested required files a big no-no? -Antonio -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
