note 69339 added to function.require-once

The following only applies to case insensitive systems like Windows. Even though the documentation sais that "the path is normalized" that doesn't seem to be true in all cases. If you are using the magic __autoload() function (or if the framework you're using is using it) and it includes the requested class file with complete path or if you override the include path in mid execution, you may have some very strange behavior. The most subtle problem is that the *_once functions seem to differentiate between c:\.... and C:\.... So to avoid any strange problems and painfull debugging make sure ALL paths you use within the system have the same case everywhere, and that they correspond with the actual case of the filesystem. That includes include paths set in webserver config/php.ini, auto load config, runtime include path settings or anywhere else. ---- Server IP: 193.27.201.10 (proxied: 193.27.201.10 1.0 www1.shellkonto.se:3128 (squid/2.5.STABLE4)) Probable Submitter: 212.112.184.254 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.require-once.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69339 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69339/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69339/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69339/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69339/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69339/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69339/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69339 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69339 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
