Re: HEAD, include(_once), bug in variable declaration

Hello, Having the scripts pasted below: include_once fails to declare the variable 'foo'. Replace include_once by include and it works. I got the same behavior using require and require_once. Am I wrong to see that as a bug? inc.php -------- <?php $foo = "var from include"; ?> testinc.php ----------- <?php function getFoo() {

        static $calls=0;
        include_once 'inc.php';
        $calls++;
        echo "calls:$calls\n";
        return $foo;

} echo getFoo() . "\n"; echo getFoo() . "\n"; ?>

it works for the first call to getFoo(), on any following call include_once will ignore "inc.php" as it was already included before, and as $foo is a local variable to getFoo() it won't exist in any but the first call remember that in PHP include is evaluated at runtime, not at compile time ... -- Hartmut Holzgraefe <hartmut@php.net>
