note 29358 added to function.include

One odd thing I found using include/require, was how it reads files from each file. In my particular case, I was calling functions from an included file, which read data from files. The base file also had a few functions which included file access. The problem I ran into, was whenever I called a function from include.php that accessed a file, subsequent calls that involved reading that -same- file, that went called from the include.php, would fail. # base.php include(include.php); fopen(test.txt); # works fclose; opentextfile(test.txt); # works fopen(test.txt); #fails fclose; --------------------------- # include.php function opentextfile($filename) { fopen(test.txt); fclose(); } I am somewhat new to PHP, but as far as I can tell, this isn't normal. if anyone figures out what I'm doing wrong, please contact me. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29358 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29358 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29358
