require_once

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

require_once 表达式和 require 表达式完全相同,唯一区别是 PHP 会检查该文件是否已经被包含过,如果是则不会再次包含。

参见 include_once 的文档来理解 _once 的含义,并理解与没有 _once 时候有什么不同。

If your code is running on multiple servers with different environments (locations from where your scripts run) the following idea may be useful to you:

a. Do not give absolute path to include files on your server.
b. Dynamically calculate the full path (absolute path)

Hints:
Use a combination of dirname(__FILE__) and subsequent calls to itself until you reach to the home of your '/index.php'. Then, attach this variable (that contains the path) to your included files.

One of my typical example is:

<?php
define
('__ROOT__', dirname(dirname(__FILE__)));
require_once(
__ROOT__.'/config.php');
?>

instead of:
<?php require_once('/var/www/public_html/config.php'); ?>

After this, if you copy paste your codes to another servers, it will still run, without requiring any further re-configurations.

Be careful when using include_once and require_once for files that return a value:

fiddle2.php
<?php
return "Some String";

fiddle.php
<?php
$s
= require_once('fiddle2.php');
echo
"\n" . $s;
$s = require_once('fiddle2.php');
echo
"\n" . $s;

/* output
Some String
1
*/

The second time require_once occurs, it returns 1 because the file has already been included.

1 - "require" and "require_once" throw a fatal error if the file is not
existing and stop the script execution

2 - "include" and "include_once" throw a warning and the execution
continues

3 - "require_once" and "include_once" as their names suggests ,
they will not include the file if the file was already included with
"require", "require_once", "include" or "include_once"

try the following code:

create a file called "index.php"

<?php

require "first.php"; // this will include the file

include_once "first.php"; // this will not as it was included using "require"

require_once "first.php"; // this will not as it was included using "require"

?>

and another file that is called "first.php" and write the following header

<h1>Hello every one</h1>

i hope this will help you

"require_once" and "require" are language constructs and not functions. Therefore they should be written without "()" brackets!
