note 28668 added to function.require

Subject: Require/Include via function calls I tried to create a "smart" include function on my own such as follows: function api_load($handle) { require 'mySpecialAPIPath/'.$handle.'.php'; } This was suppose to let me just: api_load('bbs'); api_load('html'); BUT THIS WILL NOT WORK. The require function is used inside a function call. In other words, all the content of the required file is put INSIDE the api_load() function, not OUTSIDE as a regular require call would. This causes problems with name spaces. I settled for the following: function objApi($handle) { return 'obj/api/'.$handle.'.php'; } include objApi('html'); include objApi('whois'); Maybe someone has something better. peace. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.require.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+28668 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+28668 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+28668
