de-include?

ajdegans

I'm doing a little experiment with php/mysql and IRC.
There are these functions:

include()
require()
include_once()
require_once()

What if i wanted to reverse that function? (or any other acceptable way to reload the files without refreshing the page)
I cant find a suitable sollution.

The file from which they are included mayb notbe terminated so a refresh is not an option. Also using header didnt work. (the file must be ran from a shell).

Thanks in advance!

I think you have to use some kind of javascript to do that. An example would be to use a IFRAME where you select the file you want to include and make the main page to refresh the IFRAME as often as you want it to.

Hmmyea, that were the easier way if the output wasnt on a console.

maybe i should have mentioned it before....

its not a regulartype php website 🙂
What im making is is a irc bot, (dont laugh!) with a mysql backend.

Like i said before its a experiment. But progressing real nice.
I need to reload those files for a restart function.

Well, I don't know a good way to forcefully end an included script, but you could probably work in a way to make the scripts kill themselves.

I don't know the nature of the code, but if you used a [man]return[/man] call from within the included scripts, I believe that would stop the execution of those scripts.

All files contain of one class in those classes are functions. Some functions work as a trigger to other functions.

For example when someone says !day it triggers a function which passes some value on to another. That 2nd funcion then outputs to the chatroom directly. No return is used.

Maybe if i create a small function in the end of each file something like:

function reboot($confirm) {
if($confirm) == $value) {
return;
}
}

and call those on restart? does that make sense?

Its a no go on the restart function.

I'll put this option on hold for now and try again later.
