Because michael did mention this bug again...
mfisher already did describe what happens when you use
var_dump(include_once("someinclude.inc")) twice.
So what's only left is the weird behaviour from the
if(include_once("test.php") == false) or == true.
when adding a few ()'s it works as expected.
if((include_once("test.php"))== $bool){
echo("file test.php included");
}
when $bool is 'true', it will echo the line, if $bool is 'false' it
will not echo the line.
if the file is not found it will produce a warning, and it will display
the line when $bool is 'false'.
In any case, adding the () around the include() will make the strange
Warning: Failed opening '' for inclusion, or Warning: Failed opening
'1' for inclusion, go away.

I still don't understand what the problem is. includee() and friends
are supposed to return whatever you return from within the included
file. It's not supposed to return true or false.
If you have a concrete reproducing script which doesn't work the way I
mentioned please post it and email it to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

The include*/require* functions are a bit inconsistent.
In the simple tests done, the filename printed after "Running" is the
statement included in the source and executed by PHP, e.g.
var_dump(require("file2include"));
Every script ran exeutes the same statement twice in a row.
First tests done by including the following:
<?php
echo "File got included\n";
?>
--> Running include.php
File got included
int(1)
File got included
int(1)
--> Running include_once.php
File got included
int(1)
bool(true)
--> Running require.php
File got included
UNKNOWN:0
File got included
UNKNOWN:0
--> Running require_once.php
File got included
int(1)
bool(true)
Same tests ran with:
<?php
echo "File got included\n";
return "Returning a string";
?>
--> Running include.php
File got included
string(18) "Returning a string"
File got included
string(18) "Returning a string"
--> Running include_once.php
File got included
string(18) "Returning a string"
bool(true)
--> Running require.php
File got included
UNKNOWN:0
File got included
UNKNOWN:0
--> Running require_once.php
File got included
string(18) "Returning a string"
bool(true)

confirmed with 4.4.0-dev (cli)/ ZE 1.4.0. i'm including a repro recipe

I already forgot about this bug, but received the email today that this
was considered bugus.
Well i'm surprised, and tested it a few times more (with a newer php
version), and i'm still convinced that this is a bug.
A few new examples:
<?
if( include("include.txt") == true )
{
print "File included\n";
}
?>
The code above returns this fatal error:
Warning: Failed opening '1' for inclusion
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/test.php on line 2
And now i do it the longer way:
<?
$status = include("include.txt");
if( $status == true )
{
printf("File included!\n");
}
?>
Works perfectly
And another way that works:
<?
if( true == include("include.txt") )
{
print "File included\n";
}
?>
The problem really seems what [EMAIL PROTECTED] said, a scripting engine
bug.
PS. Your reply about me asking a support question here is rather weird
to me, i was just reporting a bug..

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP,
please visit http://www.php.net/support.php
Thank you for your interest in PHP.
You can only check if include/include_once failed or succeeded if the
included file returns a value. This is clearly documented at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
