note 62312 deleted from function.include by felipe

Note Submitter: arnold at bean-it dot nl ---- Currently there is no clean way to check if a file can be included. Simply including a file which can't be opened causes a warning to be triggered. Suppressing include() with an @ (as often seen below) is not advisable, since parse errors won't be displayed, but will cause the script to die, causing a blank screen. (Happy debugging, hope you're using ZendStudio or some other debugger). The best solution I've come up with is: <?php if (($fp = @fopen($filename, 'r', 1)) and fclose($fp)) include $filename; ?> I believe the functions file_exists(), filesize(), is_readable() and is_writable() should have an use_include_path just like fopen(). If you agree with this, please PLEASE VOTE on bug #6932 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=6932). This bug has been open for over 5 years. Apparently no one is willing to add this feature.
