Re: include() suggestion

Say you have index.php and 20 lines into index.php you include file.inc and there's an error on line 30 of file.inc, but I'm pretty sure PHP would say there was an error on line 50 of index.php and not like 30 of file.inc. It doesn't keep track of included files as separate files that are called but rather sort of merges it in memory into one file to run it seems.
