note 42032 added to function.include

Especially in interactive applications with PHP5, with __autoload it is useful to have two locations you want to check. Of course, we don't want errors spewing out all over the place if the first place fails so we use a @. For instance: <?php function __autoload($class) { if(!@include("$class.php")) { @include("someotherplace/$class.php"); } ?> However this would have undesired side effects of the included files themselves not reporting any errors. That is, if a warning, error, etc was thrown in the included file itself, it would not be shown. Here is my solution: <?php function includeNice($file) { eval(@file_get_contents($file)); } ?> But keep in mind, for some reason, eval() is slower than regular parsing, so it may not be good for high-load sites. Also note that you will not know the file that the error was on, so if you have many includes, this may not be your best option. include() really needs an option for this, or another function. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42032 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42032&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42032&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
