require_once() dumping text instead of including file

[mostof]

I'm facing a problem with require_once...

Instead of actually including the file i'm requiring, it just dumps it
out as text...

other functions are working quite well...

the code look like this:

$forum_version = 'SMF 1.0 RC2';

// Get everything started up...
define('SMF', 1);
@set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
$time_start = microtime();

// Load the settings...
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/Settings.php');
error_reporting(isset($db_show_debug) && $db_show_debug === true ?
E_ALL : E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

// And important includes.
require_once($sourcedir . '/QueryString.php');

After this line:
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/Settings.php');

It just displays the contents of Settings.php as text to the browser -
no code execution...
Although dirname(__FILE__) works fine and actually returns the correct
directory name of the current file, so i can't really tell if it's a
problem with php code execution in general or just this function
(require_once)...

Thanks.

The file probably uses an extension, which isn't associated with the PHP
interpreter. When you use Apache, have a look at the AddType directive.

or maybe you forgot to put <?php and ?>

The name and extension of included files don't matter, you can name them
whatever you like. It looks like the <?php .. ?> tags are missing in the
included file.

That was it! It seems file upload didn't complete or the file got
corrupted...

If you're include() or require()'ing a file off the _filesystem_ it doesn't
matter what extension it has - Apache simply isn't involved.
