As a historic remark: We had such behavior in PHP 3, where include was
run-time, and require compile-time. We got rid of it intentionally. Use
functions or other structures to solve your issue.

How about putting the code into a function and including it just once?

Description:
------------
Using include/require in a loop causes horrible preformance, because of the
additional stat, file read, and opt-code compile on every loop iteration.
PHP really needs a method to do compile-time includes/requires as well as the
current run-time include/require.
I would like to be able to do #include like in C and have the compiler insert
the contents of the file into the script BEFORE compilation.
This shouldn't be a complicated feature addition, and it would make life alot
easier when developing with large projects with alot of reusable code.
Reproduce code:
---------------
for( $i = 0; $i < 1000; $i ++ ) {
// I want run this code by including the file
// But this code is not appropriate to make a function for
// And its very long, so I dont just want to paste the code inside
// this loop because it makes developement more confusing
include '/www/some_code_snippet.php';
}
Expected result:
----------------
Although I knew include was a run-time event, I was hoping
behavior to #include in C.
Actual result:
--------------
Tracing the code, I found it produced 1000 file stats, 1000 file reads, and
1000 opt-code compiles
