Re: anything faster than include()?

require() should be faster. both are basically not functions, but language constructs, and differ in one aspect: include checks whether it's in an actually executed branch of the code (inside if(), switch() branch etc.), and only if it is, it loads the file. require(), on the other hand, doesn't do any checks, and reads the file. if the contents of the file end up in a branch of the code that isn't executed, it's not executed. the above description is what I've seen on one of PHP mailing list about a year ago...
