PHP require_once/include_once at runtime

[Sebarry]

Hi,

Is there anyway to include scripts at runtime? I have a PHP script that requires details defined in a configuration file. There are several configuration files and the one to use can only be determined at runtime.

Thanks,

Sean

Heya, Sean.

You can use a variable as the filename in include_once() and require_once(), though this will generate an E_NOTICE:

switch($target)
{
    case 'defs':
    case 'objects':
        require_once "{$target}.php";
    break;
 
    default:
        require_once 'main.php';
    break;
}
