note 57545 added to function.require-once

A very interesting behaviour of require_once (and probably all include commands): consider the following files: /index.php -> require_once('/inc/library.php'); /function1.php -> print('/function1.php'); /inc/library.php -> require_once('function1.php'); /inc/function1.php -> print('/inc/function1.php'); Note that /function1.php and /inc/function1.php are files with the SAME filename in different folders. If you "/index.php" is executed it will output "/function1.php". Although /index.php "includes" /inc/library.php the scope of the file is still /index.php therefor /function1.php will be found even it could be asumed the /inc/function1.php is the correct one. And it gets more interesting: if you delete /function1.php and execute /index.php PHP checks this and "includes" /inc/function1.php. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.require-once.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57545 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57545&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57545&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57545&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57545&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57545&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57545&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57545&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57545&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
