RE: [PHP-QA] Re: RC6 doesn't mind function redefinition

The main reason was that it was supposed to improve performance and it didn't. It actually tended to slow things down. Removing this also allowed us to reduce the memory usage of PHP scripts (not as important). Andi At 04:51 PM 4/4/2001 +0200, Cynic wrote:

It's in a require()d file. I thought require() was a compile-time thing (as opposed to runtime include()), but looks like I'm wrong. At 00:19 4.4. 2001, Zeev Suraski wrote the following: --------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, shouldn't PHP terminate the script during compilation? I thought function redeclarations were compile errors, but it looks as if they're runtime errors, and the whole script got executed(?).

If it's inside an include file, then remember include files are only

evaluated in run-time of their parent script. So it's compile-time for them, but run-time in general.
