PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: Example gives wrong impression of "include" behaviour
Description:
------------
In the documentation for "include" the example "include() through HTTP"
gives the wrong impression that including an file with URL wrappers is a
legal alternative to a normal include with local files.
This is wrong because an include with URL wrappers parses the file twice:
By the server when executing the "included" HTTP-request and once again
AFTER including it in the current script.
This is not stated clearly and is confusing for people learning PHP.
The user contributed notes show that there IS confusion and even very
insecure tips ("change the file ending") are given in the notes.
