Re: Mixing eval() with include/require

Hi Ignacio, have you tried your function with require instead of include? The effect is just the same. The difference between include() and require() can be described like so: suppose somefile.php contains a few lines of text, no PHP code (it'd be the same but is easier to grok this way) suppose we have these two blocks in a php file: if( false ) { include( 'somefile.php' ) ; } if( false ) { require( 'somefile.php' ) ; } the first block will never read somefile.php. the include() call just won't execute. the latter one WILL read somefile.php, but WON'T display its contents. BTW, Rasmus Lerdorf explained this pretty clearly here (or maybe at php-windows, don't remember) about a week or two ago.
