php-doc-en/language/control-structures/include-once.xml
Torben Wilson af4410a7e1 Normalized the sgml-default-dtd-file local-variable line for those
still using this, after discussion on the phpdoc list.
From now on, manual.ced will need to be found at ~/.phpdoc/manual.ced.

<title><function>include_once</function></title>
<para>
The <function>include_once</function> statement includes and evaluates
the specified file during the execution of the script.
This is a behavior similar to the <function>include</function> statement,
with the only difference being that if the code from a file has already
been included, it will not be included again. As the name suggests,
it will be included just once.
</para>
<para>
<function>include_once</function> may be used in cases where
the same file might be included and evaluated more than once during a
particular execution of a script, so in this case it may help avoid
problems such as function redefinitions, variable value reassignments, etc.
</para>
<para>
See the <function>include</function> documentation for information about
how this function works.
</para>
<para>
<note>
<para>
With PHP 4, <literal>_once</literal> functionality differs with case-insensitive
operating systems (like Windows) so for example:
<example>
<title><function>include_once</function> with a case insensitive OS in PHP 4</title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
include_once "a.php"; // this will include a.php
include_once "A.php"; // this will include a.php again! (PHP 4 only)
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
</example>
</para>
<para>
This behaviour changed in PHP 5, so for example with Windows the path is normalized first so that
<filename>C:\PROGRA~1\A.php</filename> is realized the same as
<filename>C:\Program Files\a.php</filename> and the file is included just once.
