Both 'include_once' and 'require_once' do a case sensitive job on Win32, although the Win32 filesystem itself isn't case sensitive. This may cause you a 'Cannot redeclare class' error when a class definition file gets included twice incorrectly. For example, with a file 'test.class.php' containing: <?php class CTest {} ?> executed by the file 'require.php': <?php require_once 'test.class.php'; require_once 'Test.class.php'; ?> you would receive the error: Cannot redeclare class ctest in Test.class.php on line 2 Tested with PHP v4.2.1 on Windows 2000. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.require-once.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+22716 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+22716 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+22716
