require() pulls in the target file when the source file is parsed/compiled, include() pulls in the target file when the source file is executed. So an include() nested in an if statement will only be included if the if statement evaluates to true, a require() nested in an if statement will be included regardless. Also check out include_once() and require_once(). -Steve On Monday, October 22, 2001, at 05:15 PM, jtjohnston wrote: > Coverting from perl ... > What's the differencw between require and include?
