How does a "require" direct control to another php file?

[rtcary]

The index.php file for my concrete5 app contains

<?php
require('concrete/dispatcher.php');

I understand the "require"; I am not sure how the "control" of the application gets transferred to dispatcher.php.

The PHP manual has an explanation for [man]include[/man] that applies to require.

Hint: control is not transferred to the required file -- the required file is read in and "used" as though it were part of the code in the requiring file.
