The include() and require() function takes all the text in a specified file and copies it into the file that uses the these function respectively.
- include will only produce a warning (E_WARNING) and the script will continue
- require will produce a fatal error (E_COMPILE_ERROR) and stop the script
Use the include statement where you want the execution to go on and show users the output, even if the include file is missing.
Syntax :
include <file_name>
Example
Example
<?php
include/home/test/public_html/coded/abc.php;
?>
If in above example if the abc.php does not exists,then still code will run and it will just generate warning
Always use the require statement in case of FrameWork, CMS, or a complex PHP application coding, to include a key file to the flow of execution.
Syntax :
require <file_name>
Example
<?php
Require /home/test/public_html/coded/abc.php;
?>
If in above example if the abc.php does not exists,then still code will halt and executes a fatal erroer
