Thanks for the read! I appreciate the thought and work you put into this. And now my obligatory gripes! Under the PHP section you claim "if an included file must return a value but the file cannot be included, include statement returns FALSE and only generates a warning. If a file is required, one must use require()." How is that a negative? That sounds like expected behavior to me and I can't imagine it working any other way. $error = include('script.php'); // Return FALSE and continue anyway. require('script.php'); // Die with error. How is that undesirable/wrong? It lets you do things like... $error = include('script-A.php'); if ($error == FALSE) require('script-B.php');
