Re: Upgrade Issue

Require is not a function. It's a language construct. As such, it has never had a defined return value. You can try include instead, just for fun, but you'd be better off to code it cleaner and check something that virt_cust.inc does or sets and erroring out if that didn't happen. require 'template/virt_cust.inc'; if (isset($customer)) error("Fatal Error"); -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?

Now I have this interesting problem: the source: <? require("templates/virt_cust.inc") or error("Fatal Error"); produces this error message: Fatal error: Failed opening required '1' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/httpd/html/distsupp/templates/virt_cust_form.php on line 2 The file is there and it works fine when I remove the "or error(..." code from the end of line 2. It appears that adding this code causes require() to interpret the file name as a boolean TRUE. This problem did not happen with 4.02. Does anyone know of a configuration option or anything I can correct to make this syntax work again with 4.06?
