Let’s say I have function named "render", which looks like this: <?php function render($template, $vars){
    extract($vars);
    include("templates/".$template.'.php');
} ?> I also have template "some_tmplt.php", which I need to render 100 times. Will PHP read, parse and compile this file 100 times, or will it "remember" file's content?
