Forgot to mention a few things, if your app is sophisticated enough to require 
header settings (content-type, etc), those include have to go before the 
buffered output is sent.  Also, you want to make use of chunked encoding, you 
cannot use/specify content-length in the header.

Depends on your application design and/or your desired result.  If you design 
your application to do all processing before output is sent starting with 
, then all your includes goes before .  If you want to have the 
modular approach of including css & js files inside the  element, you 
don't have to worry about going back to changing every single output file when 
you decide the change your layout or javascript framework.  It also makes your 
code page a bit cleaner when you do use include in the .  If you want to 
make use of chunked encoding, you can including the rest within the .

Thus, include everything before  gives you a slight pause 'waiting for 
reply...' in the status bar before the client even begin to download anything.  
When includes are scattered all over, server processes some sends the web 
browser info, here go fetch some more (css, js, images) until the the last 
buffered output is sent   (that is if your page is compliant ;)

Mostly, it looks like a dangling piece of rubbish. I never add the
closing ?> on a source-only file. And since I never mix code with
content... I never see ?> in my files *grin*.

The code generated by the template compiler has the appropriate closing
tags though... and of course since it's generated, it's a run-time soup
of HTML and embedded PHP code :)

Cheers,
Rob.


Mostly for the very basic sites, I put HTML code at the end of my
file, so i don't have to echo it and think about quotes. And a lot of
times, i also have HTML in front of my code, or when using sessions,
in between like this:

Test



And then, the ?> is a must :)

You don't need to close the PHP context with ?>

Hi.

I have a windows server and I know this issue has been dealt with

Can I use the C:\directory\anotherdirectory\file.php in the include

I need more code to make it work? I am sure I do. The directory would
be aside my home directory.


That should work fine in theory.

I'd suggest using the constant 'DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR' instead:

$path = 'c:' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'directory' .

so you don't have to worry about escaping backslashes, otherwise you 
have to write it as:


c:\\directory\\ ...

or

c:/directory/

Both of those should work ok but using the constant you shouldn't have 
any problems with forgetting about escaping a \ .

It gives you a way of knowing what's a directly executable file (like 
index.php) and what's an included file.  Further, I disallow the direct 
serving of all .inc files in my htaccess, so that people can't directly 
browse an include file which should not be executed on their own, and 
should not be served to a browser direct as text (like passwords).

Better still, store all your includes outside the document root, but 
that's another story.

Security - on a properly configured web server a .inc file will never
actually try and compile/execute itself. Whereas a .php one always
will.
Yes, .inc files will show up as they are - php source, db 
username/password etc. So it's even less secure unless you forbid 
serving them:

FWIW, I use .php for main scripts/pages, and .phtml for includes, as the
latter get processed through PHP too.

It makes no difference as far as PHP is concerned. You're just telling 
PHP what file to load.

However, .inc files are generally served up as plain text if requested 
on their own. This means that anyone can view the PHP code (and possibly 
passwords?) they contain.

So many people will just name them with a .php extension so nothing is 
returned to the user. This has it's own set of problems because now the 
files can be run out of context. Depending on your application, this 
could be a big issue; what if they could bypass your security measures 
by requesting files on their own?

This is a fairly frequently asked question and the number one suggestion 
is always to place the files outside of your web root so they can not be 
requested through a browser at all. PHP can still include them, you just 
have to provide the correct path. Then you can give them any extension 
you want.

This isn't always possible or ideal, though and then you have to resort 
to either naming them with .php extensions (and being aware of the issue 
discussed above) or relying on an .htaccess file to deny access to any 
.inc files (so people cannot view/run them out of context). .htaccess is 
not an entirely portable solution, though, so you have to take that into 
consideration also.

Good luck with your decision. I personally use .inc.php (for visual 
reference of which ones are include files) and stay aware of what could 
happen if these files are run out of context.

If you only have limited control/knowledge of Apache you could adopt
names something like: script.inc.php

In such a way PHP will always process the script as it's extension
is .php and you can easily identify that it is a script to be
included/required.

For organization. The file name shows what the file is, without having

Not really anything. Just to separate the files. A problem when using 
.inc files
is that it is not default parsed when requested directly in the browser, 
so it
may be less secure if it contain SQL-passwords, etc.

yes this would be very handy for error reporting purposes but alas it is
not to be. afaik there is no way to do what you want save passing
__FILE__ to the function...


functio foo($stuff, $more_stuff, $current_file)
{
... do stuff ...
}




that's what i ended up doing.

Re: [PHP] Include files

[David Eisenhart]

if require is used to include the 'same file', say, twice that file will be
loaded twice. This can of course cause errors (such as resulting from the
redefinition of functions within this file). In contrast the require_once
construct will only load a file 'once' irrespective of the number of times
it is subsequently called to do so (thereby preventing such errors arising).

I would imagine (but am not certain) that there may be a slight speed
penalty in using require_once as opposed to require.

I would like to put the lines that are repeated in each php files, in

e.g.

$db_host = "localhost";
$db_port = "3306";
$db_name = "test";

I find the include() function to be quite useful for including external 
files. Check out the relevant pages of the "PHP Manual":
www.php.net/include
and
www.php.net/include_once
and
www.php.net/require
and

I think that you need to call the checkMaster() function AFTER you declare
it, not before. Try moving "checkMaster();" beneath the function
definition.

I have, in the past, stored such information in a database.  In projects
that have need of such functionality I create a modules table and use
that to store what information I need - normally that's a path to the
module, the name of the config file for that module and any other
relevant bits that the project as a whole needs to know about.

Then when a page loads it can check for any appropriate modules in the
process and deal with them accordingly.

The problem with this is you will loose the scope of your variables.

So $filename will not have access to anything from where the function is
called...

Try this code (untested):

function selfAwareInclude($filename)
{
define($filename, true);
include($filename);
}

Inside your include file, make calls such as

if (defined($filename)) {
// Do whatever
}

Then use the selfAwareInclude() function instead of include(). You could 
do the same with require, etc.

Hi,

I'm currently working on a rather large site and have just completed the 
navigation portion of it.  I'd like to make use of server side includes so 
that if I have to make changes down the road, I won't have to chance 
potentially 100s of files.  Normally I use  with .asp and .shtml files, however, this does not 
seem to work for me using PHP 3.0.16 (the version my web host uses).

Is there an equivalent to  in PHP?  And 
will it work in version 3.0.16.  I've gone through the online manual but 
found nothing that would help in this situation.

Thanks

Set up the .shtml extension so that it is parsed as PHP.

Yes, you can include foo.php which has another include in it and another and
another    they will all appear to you as a one single file.

But, be careful though, do not reinclude them, or you'll create an infinite
loop.. use include_once instead

Subject: [PHP] Include files


I have an include file foo.inc.  I want to call a function that is in
another include file,say anotherfoo.inc, from the foo.inc.

//Foo.inc

include "c:\\...\\anotherfoo.inc";

//other code

//end of include

can I call an include from another include?

I tried the above but it fails opening the other include.

Should I have the
'  "include"c:\\...\\anotherfoo.inc"  '
in the file that includes the Foo.inc?

Sure.

No, you can include what and where you want (provided it's valid PHP), 
but if you use relative paths, the paths all have to be relativ to the 
original file, the file that is called by the browser (or whatever you 
use to call your scripts).

Set the include_patz in php.ini and include everything relative to that 
path

Ok, but having read the docs you pointed to (thanks), I still don't see how 
to use it in an include directive.

I assume that since the vhost is specified to use "/home/dvh/public_html/" 
as the server root, that DOCUMENT_ROOT is equal to "/home/dvh/public_html/" 
when the server is  running any script from that vhost.

But, how do I apply that to the include directive?

How about the environment variable $DOCUMENT_ROOT (you may need to access as
$GLOBALS[DOCUMENT_ROOT] depending on your code).  Put  in
a webpage to see all of the goodies available to you.  I personally prefer
to keep the bulk of my PHP code outside the document root, in a directory
parallel to it.  I define a constant INC_PATH typically parallel to the
document root using code similar to the following:

// Set INC_PATH.
ereg( "(.*)web_directory.*", $SCRIPT_FILENAME, $regs );
define( "INC_PATH", $regs[1] . "inc_directory/" );

Then I include files as follows:

include( INC_PATH . "inc_common.php" );

Very portable.

This isn't very portable anyway.  You don't want to have to change paths if
you move a file to a deeper subdirectory.
