[SOLVED] require_once question

[Shiny_Charizard]

I wanted to know if there was anyway to find out if it required a file correctly?

Example 1:

<?php
$req = require_once 'file.php';

if ($req == false) {
echo "File not found!";
}
?>

 

Example 2:

<?php
require_once 'file.php' or exit ("File not found!"); 
?>

 

Thanks you.

if the file is not found, the script with die and give an error. Theres no need for all that checking you did, php automatically does it...

 

 

test it out... try to require a file that doesn't exist

I know but I want to make it show my own message.

uh? whats the point in that?

Use file_exists to check if the file exists,

then include the file only if it does.

 

if (file_exists("file.php")) {
require_once "file.php";
} else {
echo "File not found";
}
