What if I want to silently ignore a missing-file condition? Ie. no warning or compile error if there file is not there (presumably to skip the need of a file_exist), yet receive all warnings generated by the included code. What about 'missing'=> 'error' / 'warn' / 'ignore' ? > If 'code' is present and true, the parser begins reading the file as > if a <?php open tag had already been encountered. If code is absent or > false, the parser reads the file beginning in “HTML mode,” exactly as > the require keyword does today. I think "reading the file as if a <?php open tag had already been encountered" should add "with the exception that an explicit <?php exactly at the beginning of the file is not a parse error but silently ignored".
