Hi there,
From http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.including.php: "Anywhere you are unconditionally including a class file, use require_once. Anywhere you are conditionally including a class file (for example, factory methods), use include_once."
Out of curiosity, why is this the case? What benefits does it offer?
Best regards,
Eric
