Re: include and require

Because require() ensure that my sitefunctions.php file ALWAYS get included as part of the standard header vs the include() statment which may not ever get evaluated by the code. If the include() doesn't get parsed then sitefunctions.php never get's included in the main header and other scripts would fail. require() avoids that problem. -- Scott On Mon, Jul 03, 2000 at 12:42:19AM +0700, Eris Ristemena wrote: > well, you can use include() rather than require() right ? why you use > require() ? > > -----Original Message----- > From: scottrus@ipass.net <scottrus@ipass.net> > To: Eris Ristemena <ste94034@stttelkom.ac.id> > Cc: php-general@lists.php.net <php-general@lists.php.net> > Date: Monday, July 03, 2000 12:31 AM > Subject: Re: [PHP] include and require > > > >Eris - > > > > > >I have a site that has an auto_append / auto_prepend header and footer.
