PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: Multiple incude()'s of file with func defs incorrectly
documented for PHP 4
Description:
------------
The documentation page for the include() construct states
that:
"If there are functions defined in the included file, they
can be used in the main file independent if they are
before return() or after. If the file is included twice,
PHP 5 issues fatal error because functions were already
declared, while PHP 4 doesn't complain about it."
However, PHP 4 _does_ "complain" (which it should) about
it as demonstrated below. Therefore, I believe the second
sentence in the quote above should read, "If the file is
included twice, a fatal error is issued because functions
were already declared."
Reproduce code:
---------------
a.php:
<?php
include("b.php");
include("b.php");
?>
b.php:
<?php
function foo() {
echo "I've been included!\n";
}
?>
Running a.php, PHP 4.3.4 dies with:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare foo() (previously declared in /tmp/b.php:3)
in /tmp/b.php on line 2
