Re: Re: require & include

So both include() and require() *are* subject to conditional statements in the code? Guess I missed that. Thanks. -Steve On Tuesday, October 23, 2001, at 01:00 AM, Rasmus Lerdorf wrote:

That's outdated. The only difference today is that if a file can't be included/required for some reason it is a fatal error with require and a warning with include. -Rasmus On Tue, 23 Oct 2001, Jason G. wrote:

From the manual: Unlike include(), require() will always read in the target file, even if the line it's on never executes. If you want to conditionally include a file, use include(). The conditional statement won't affect the require(). However, if the line on which the require() occurs is not executed, neither will any of the code in the target file be executed. Similarly, looping structures do not affect the behaviour of require(). Although the code contained in the target file is still subject to the loop, the require() itself happens only once.

Coverting from perl ... What's the differencw between require and include? Where, when, why?

I forgot from which version, but current PHP's require/include works the same way except - require() raise fatal error, if it can't find file - include() raise warning, if it can't find file requrie_once()/include_once() works almost the same as require()/include() except they include file only once.
