    include_once

    (PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

    include_once deyimi belirtilen dosyayı betiğin çalışması esnasında okur ve çalıştırır. Bu deyimin çalışma biçimi include deyimi ile benzerdir, tek farkı kendisiyle dahil edilmiş bir dosya, betiğin başka bir yerinde tekrar dahil edilmek istenirse buna izin vermemesidir. include_once true döndürür.

    include_once deyimi, bir betiğin çalışması esnasında aynı dosyanın bir kereden fazla dahil edilme ihtimaline karşı, bu dosyanın yalnızca bir kere dahil edileceğinden emin olunmak istenirse kullanılmalıdır. Bu sayede işlev bildirimlerinin yinelenmesi, değişkenlere tekrar değer atanması gibi sorunlar ortaya çıkmaz.

    Bu işlevin nasıl çalıştığı hakkında ayrıntılı bilgi edinmek için include belgesine bakınız.

    In response to what a user wrote 8 years ago regarding include_once being ran two times in a row on a non-existent file:

    Perhaps 8 years ago that was the case, however I have tested in PHP 5.6, and I get this:

    $result = include_once 'fakefile.php';  // $result = false
    $result = include_once 'fakefile.php'   // $result is still false

    If you include a file that does not exist with include_once, the return result will be false.

    If you try to include that same file again with include_once the return value will be true.

    Example:
    <?php
    var_dump    (include_once 'fakefile.ext'); // bool(false)
    var_dump(include_once 'fakefile.ext'); // bool(true)
    ?>

    This is because according to php the file was already included once (even though it does not exist).

    This currently (running latest PHP 7.4 NTS as of this writing, on Windows) returns as expected... false no matter how many times you include an inaccessible file, true if you include it more than once.

    once i wrote script to include multiple files at once from a given location:

    function include_load($path)
        {
        foreach(glob($path . "/*.php") as $file)
            include_once($file);
        }

    last week i modified my code and merged all include files into one single file. this results in five times faster code. i have to mention, i am talking about +100 files to include where each file includes single function and filename is equal to function-name.

    config.php
    <?php
    return array("test">1);

    -------------
    //first
    $config = include_once("config.php");
    var_dump($config);

    $config = include_once("config.php");
    var_dump($config);

    -------------------
    output will be
    array(
            "test"=>1,
    )

    nothing

    i tried

    -------------------------------- index.php:
    $out='todo 1';
    include 'file1.php';
    $out='todo 2';
    include 'file1.php';
    echo 'end';
    -------------------------------- file1.php:
    include_once 'file2.php';
    if(isset($out)){
    echo $out;
    }
    -------------------------------- file2.php:
    $out='first todo once';
    include 'file.php';

    the output is:
    first todo once
    first todo once
    todo 2

    what should i do?

    if i would replace in file2.php include with include_once, then i have following output:
    first todo once
    todo 2

    i could write
    $out='first todo once';
    include 'file1.php'
    $out='todo 1';
    include 'file1.php';
    $out='todo 2';
    include 'file1.php';

    but i don't want :-)
    please help

    i already had a discussion with several people about "not shown errors"
    error reporting and all others in php.ini set to: "show errors" to find problems:
    the answer i finally found:
    if you have an "@include..." instead of "include..." or "require..('somthing') in any place in your code
    all following errors are not shown too!!!

    so, this is actually a bad idea when developing because paser errors will be droped too:
    <?php
    if(!@include_once('./somthing') ) {
        echo     'can not include';
    }
    ?>

    solution:
    <?php
    if(!@file_exists('./somthing') ) {
        echo     'can not include';
    } else {
       include(    './something');
    }
    ?>

    Since I like to reuse a lot of code it came handy to me to begin some sort of library that I stored in a subdir
    e.g. "lib"

    The only thing that bothered me for some time was that although everything worked all IDEs reported during editing
    these useless warnings "file not found" when library files included other library files, since my path were given all relative to the corresponding document-root.

    Here is a short workaround that makes that gone:

    <?php
    // Change to your path

    if(strpos(__FILE__,'/lib/') != FALSE){
            chdir("..");
    }
    include_once (    './lib/other_lib.inc');
    // ... or any other include[_once] / require[_once]
    ?>

    just adjust the path and it will be fine - also for your IDE.

    greetings

    require_once() can check the file if once include ,or the file is wrong will tell a error and quit the script.

    For include_once a file in every paths of application we can do simply this

    include_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "mypath/my2ndpath/myfile.php");
