Another request for this feature.
file_exists(), is_readable(), is_writable(), and is_file() are begging
for this.

Why do you guys refuse to add some kind of functionality to the
language that would allow people to test if a file is in the in the
current include path (any of them) and where the file is located
absolutely? Seriously?

I just think would be great to check before we get any kind of warning
or whatever. And I also think would be of great importance to offer a
clean code and service.

This is so obvious. It should be there. We should be able to do an
easy test BEFORE calling include().

I third that!
And I would also like to see this argument for the function
'is_readable' and 'is_writable'.
Currently there is no clean way to check if a file can be included.
Simply including a file which can't be opened causes a warning to be
triggered. Suppressing include() with an @ is not advisable, since
parse errors won't be displayed, but will cause the script to die,
causing a blank screen. (Happy debugging, hope you're using
ZendStudio).
The best solution I've come up with is:
if (($fp = @fopen($filename, 'r', 1)) and fclose($fp))
include_once($filename);
Anybody reading this bug PLEASE VOTE that this is important to you,
because it doesn't look like anybody is willing to add this (simple)
feature.
