Note Submitter: Jason ---- If you are wondering how to catch an include error and throw an exception, you can do so by doing: <?php try { if(!@include('/path/to/file.php')) { throw new Exception('Failed to load blabla'); } } catch(Exception $e) { print $e->getMessage(); } ?> This is helpful for people with custom Exception handlers that need to escape the default warning. Too bad you can't, without using this method, catch the exception.. If you insist on using require() instead, you must understand that include() and require() are identical in all ways, except that the way they handle errors - require throws E_FATAL when the file isn't found, include issues E_WARNING, that's the only difference!
