Re: file_exists and array_merge_clobber

In keeping with other functions that test pseudo-types like is_callable(), why not create a new function is_includeable() that will take a filename/path, and use include_path by default, or accept an optional array of paths to search. if (is_includeable("somefile.php")) {

     include "somefile.php";

}

this would also be confusing as it would behave different like is_readable() etc. esp. for is_executable() it would not be clear wheter it behaves like is_readable() (checking just relative to the current work dir.) or like is_includeable() (checking for existance in $_ENV[PATH]) -- Hartmut Holzgraefe <hartmut@php.net>
