It all depends on the purpose.
With require, the script will die on the spot if the file is not found. Also, the code will always be included in the file.. so take this example:
file.php:
<?
echo "Hello World!";
?>
requiretest.php:
<?
if (FALSE) {
require('file.php');
}
?>
The run script would be:
<?
if (FALSE) {
echo "Hello World!";} ?> Of course that code would never be executed, but the required file would be parsed and included as part of the file, whereas: includetest.php: <? if (FALSE) {
include('file.php');
}
?>
If the if() condition is not met, the file is not included at all.. so the parsed code would be:
<?
if (FALSE) {
}
?>
