note 25623 deleted from function.require by sniper

I don't believe this is in the docs, so here it goes. If require() is called from a require()'d file AND the argument to it is just a filename, it will first try to read the file from the directory the parent script is in. If it can't find it, it will try to read the file from the directory the child script is in. Example: -Parent Script (/home/user/public_html/parent.php) -> require('child.php') --Child Script (/home/user/child.php) -> require('findme.php') ---Find Me Script (/home/user/findme.php) First PHP will search /home/user/public_html/findme.php for the file, if it can't find it, it will resort to the directory of the require'd file (/home/user/) and look for it there. Nice little feature, I wasn't sure why it was working ;-)
