note 127107 added to function.require-once

Be careful when using include_once and require_once for files that return a value: fiddle2.php <?php return "Some String"; fiddle.php <?php $s = require_once('fiddle2.php'); echo "\n" . $s; $s = require_once('fiddle2.php'); echo "\n" . $s; /* output Some String 1 */ The second time require_once occurs, it returns 1 because the file has already been included. ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 185.85.3.47 (proxied: 2601:448:4200:1e7a:980a:7e5c:d999:f6e4) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/function.require-once.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/127107 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127107/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127107/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127107/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127107/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127107/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127107/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127107 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/127107 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
