In fact I've had the opposite experience: A while back I had a problem with a php3 script that would crash apache with a very bizarre error message. I tracked the problem down to a require() statement, and when I changed it to include() my problems magically went away. I'm sure the problem is fixed now, but since that happened I never used require() again, and don't miss it at all. I can't even think of a hypothetical scenario where I would want to use it. - Mark
