Why include_once inside a function is different from include inside a function? BM>> include it again with include_once. The example I gave is not BM>> acurate to how we use it. We actually use a variable, not a BM>> define to control the inclusion of a file. Can you explain this further? How comes that include_once is not enough to prevent double include and ensure the function is defined? BM>> The other thing is that backward compatiblity was broken when it BM>> did not have to be. include_once is a *new* function in PHP to BM>> lots of people. There's a backward compatibility and there's a bug-compatibility. The PHP always worked so that you cannot redefine functions once defined (we'll leave ZE2 discussions about function ovverides alone for now). If there was a bug that allowed to do it, it's a logical thing to fix it, not to drag it through versions as if it should be so. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.115 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
