In my previous post I have described regarding the PHP file inclusion methods these are the include() Function, include_once() Function, require() Function and require_once() Function. In this post I am trying to describe the differences between the include() and require() functions, the includes and the require functions both are used to include the content of a PHP file into another PHP file before it is executed by the server, the main differences are given below:
1. The file included by the include(), generates a warning and the script executes continuously when there is any problem with the included PHP file, where as . The file included by the require(), generates a error and stops the script execution when there is any problem with the included PHP file.
2. The syntax are given below:
<?php foreach($values as $pr_data) { include 'products.php';// This will includes this file only once } ?> <?php foreach($values as $pr_data) { require 'products.php';// This will includes this file only once } ?>
