Many friends ask me what’s the difference between require() and include(). Here is the explaination from PHP manual.
From PHP manual:-
require() and include() are identical in every way except how they handle failure. include() produces a Warning while require() results in a Fatal Error. In other words, don’t hesitate to use require() if you want a missing file to halt processing of the page. include() does not behave this way, the script will continue regardless. Be sure to have an appropriate include_path setting as well.
So that means, if you want to ensure that file1.php must be read before execute anything else, then you should use require.
If you just want to load a ‘not that important’ template header then you can use include function.
Great!!!
hello,
this is very useful for php programmer.
gizg: pclfw’s post is incorrect. When using require, PHP will not look for them before parsing the document. An easy way to test this is the following code:
File: test.php
File: no.php
File: yes.php
Create these files with this code and then visit test.php. What happens? The page displays NO! because it only got no.php
This was good, but, I have to say that post #4 (by “pclfw”) on this page actually gives a better explanation:

Please, if you have free time, visit one website. I’d be grateful as once I applied at a website and got bad experience. The card didn’t come, maybe even someone stole it from postbox. But my friend recommended another site he recently found. Please, tell me if I can apply for a good credit card at
?
