Note Submitter: georg_gruber at yahoo dot com ---- A very interesting behaviour of require_once (and probably all include commands): consider the following files: /index.php -> require_once('/inc/library.php'); /function1.php -> print('/function1.php'); /inc/library.php -> require_once('function1.php'); /inc/function1.php -> print('/inc/function1.php'); Note that /function1.php and /inc/function1.php are files with the SAME filename in different folders. If you "/index.php" is executed it will output "/function1.php". Although /index.php "includes" /inc/library.php the scope of the file is still /index.php therefor /function1.php will be found even it could be asumed the /inc/function1.php is the correct one. And it gets more interesting: if you delete /function1.php and execute /index.php PHP checks this and "includes" /inc/function1.php.
