include_once for php3

[oldefezziwig]

I am confined to using PHP3 for a project I am working on. This has worked out fine for the most part, although many of PHP4's convenience functions would be nice.

One feature I could REALLY use right now, however, is PHP4's include_once feature. Would anyone know how this may be done in PHP3?

Thanks,
Jon

Hi Mate,

The way I have got around this in the past is to put all of the functions in the include file within an if statement that checks if a readflag =1, if it is then it doesnt attempt to redefine the functions again.

<?

If (!$readflag) // only define functions once
{
function blah
{
}

function blah
{
}

function blah
{
}

$readflag =1;
}
