dup. of #15438
operator precedence problem: or is evaluated before require
i have to confess that the sample doesn't make sense for require, but
it is at least a documentation problem for include:
include("somefile") or die(...);
whereas
(include("somefile")) or die(...);
works as expected
IMHO the WTF factor here is rather big ... :(

require() dies with fatal error if file is not found..

If one would use a line similar to
require("include/xhtml11.php") or die("argh!");
php will fail stating it cannot open "1".
The more intuitive result can be obtained by doing
(require("include/xhtml11.php")) or die("argh!");
I know that require or die is wrong, since require is not a function.
However, due to the way precedence (apparently) works with require, the
result is non-intuitive and confusing (I am assuming php is evaluating
'(..) or die(..)' to 'true', which is 1).
