So which tutorials you found most useful. Also feel free to recommend any good article that we may have missed.
I could not understand why this article came up here: PHP include vs. require
We believe this article provides simple but useful tip for many PHP developers, specially newbies.
Frankly it is true that a lot of developer misuse PHP include & require; causing unnecessary problems. Therefore, although it is fundamental stuff, we believe it is something worth talking about.
