note 62314 added to function.require

WARNING: Be absolutely sure that your include paths are relative or directory based and not http!!! require("http://www.mydomain.com/somefile.php"); //WRONG!! require("usr/mydomain/somefile.php"); //CORRECT!! If you are intending to access local files and you accidentally use an http address, the request will probably work. However, this creates a wierd situation that can cause all sorts of bugs in your scripts and slow your code down. The problem is that the include spawns off another php request, and is essentially requesting the file in the same a way a remote viewer would. So rather than including the intended php code, instead you get the processed output from that single file executed in its own private scope. It's a simple mistake, but it can be an awful problem to debug.
