It seems that the "include_once" function no longer works?

<?php
include_once("http://www.mySite.com/getUserID");
include_once("http://www.mySite.com/getUserID");
?>

"getUserID" contains something to the effect of...

<?php
function getID()
{
    //create empty array
    $id = array();
.......
    return ($id);
}
?>

Upon execution of the second "include_once" you'll receive an error....

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare getID() in http://www.mySite.com/getUserID on line 2

The bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support
questions. For a list of a range of more appropriate places to ask
for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php

Sorry, I misread the report.
include_once() shouldn't open and include the file twice.

Anyway, you shouldn't use include_once to grab data from a remote file, use fopen() & co for that.

Well, actually we are not retrieving data from a remote file, we are executing external script (which I believe is the primary purpose of "include_once"). The full qualified URL simply circumvents the relative path issues!!

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
