video #23 - Advance PHP - Include / Require

The ‘include’ and ‘require’ statements.  The ‘include’ and ‘require’ statements is use to include within itself another file’s content.  It just includes all text including “html & PHP” scripts.

You can use the ‘include’ statement to break an html file into several sections which I do most of the time.  It is a great techniques for  “headers/footers”.  

This saves you a lot of time and keeps your project organized.  You can create a standard header, footer, or menus file for all of your web pages.
All you have to do is use the ‘include’ or ‘require’ statement.

Again, this is a great way to organize your scripts.  Both of these statements are identical, except when you get a failure.

The ‘require’ statement will produce a fatal error (E_COMPILE_ERROR) and stop the script.   The ‘include’ will only produce a warning (E_WARNING) and the script continues.

So, if you want the execution to go on and show users the output of your failure then use the ‘include’ statement.
