note 33418 deleted from function.require by sniper

Note Submitter: php-comment-25-june-2003@ryandesign.com ---- Contrary to the comment from "Satisfied PHP User" on 20-Jan-2003 at 12:07, and much to my delight, I find that there is no problem with using (include|require)[_once] inside a function call (even if that function is inside a class). Although the require call is inside a function, the functions defined in the included file are available globally, which is exactly what I want. I'm building a system similar to "Satisfied's" api_load() function (except that the files I include will contain class definitions, and my "api_load()" function will also make an instance of that class and call its methods). I am using PHP 4.3.2.
