note 44974 added to function.include

In response to the unamed user who discusses using @include() and eval(@file_get_contents())) neither are good solutions proper ways to handle that is to set ERROR_REPORTING to the proper level, or use your include path defined in php.ini sometimes those options arent available, if not something based on this function should suffice. this would support retrieving any values that the included file may return(that is, if you use return() in your inlcudes) Please note this WILL throw an error if the to-be-included files' parent directory is not executable, even if the file does in fact exist in that directory. again, ERROR_REPORTING is the proper way. <?php function quietInclude($main, $backup) { $includeReturn = false; if (file_exists($main)) $includeReturn = include($main); elseif (file_exists($backup)) $includeReturn = include($backup); return $includeReturn; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+44974 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+44974&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+44974&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
