for those not following cvs:

    function fileExists($file)
    {
-        $dirs = explode(PATH_SEPARATOR, ini_get('include_path'));
-        foreach ($dirs as $dir) {
-            if (is_readable($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file)) {

+        $fp = @fopen($file, 'r', true);

I see SDG applies the same ...

I still wonder what is the goal. I assume you mean fileExistsToInclude($file) For the record it was some discussion between Del, Paul and Justin about it in Text_Wiki. Then, after having introduced it, we pulled it back. We just include_once now, as it is some implementer's choice. Lukas admitted he does it for implementer's comfort: "... For convinience I first made this entirely transparent to the user..." from http://beeblex.com/lists/index.php/php.pear.dev/41612?s=l%3Aphp.pear.dev+lukas SDG did not have such feature, and does not need it. Such work-around should really be reserved for really "optional" things. Consider implementers are mature. Regards -- toggg
