Re: [php-list] Include files

Hi Frank, The reason I asked is that some files I'm modifying have "include_once" used in every instance. There doesn't seem to be any reason why they are using this, as there's no chance of being included twice. It seems that they've used "include_once" (just in case), which is misleading. I've

Hi Mike, Yep, you can include html, no probs without echoing it. etc. Every example I see lately seems to use "include_once" regardless of whether it could be included twice or more. I was beginning to think that "include" was redundant. Must be belt and braces strategy? - Original Message
