Using the include or require function, seemingly anywhere, in a PHP script yields a "Document contains no data" error in Netscape or a "Unexpected network read error; connection aborted/Unable to access document" error in lynx.

Example:
file "foo.inc" contains one line:
Hello

file "foo.php" contains six lines:
<html><head><title>Hello World!</title></head><body>
<?
        require('foo.inc');
        echo " world!<br>\n";
?>
</body></html>


Compile Information:  Have PHP4 compiled as a shared Apache module (DSO) under Apache 1.3.6.
Configure line:  ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql --enable-track-vars

This is an Apache bug - Apache doesn't always properly generate
DSO modules.
It's fixed in Apache 1.3.7/1.3.8

I have Apache 1.3.9 and include'ing doesn't work properly.

Please take a look at this:

http://zeraim.torah.org/~cblack/testdir/index.php3

http://zeraim.torah.org/~cblack/testdir/index.php3?sid=3

Now, try these:

http://terumah.teamgenesis.com/~cblack/index.php3

http://terumah.teamgenesis.com/~cblack/index.php3?sid=2

Precisely the same code. PHP on zeraim incorporates the header & footer and 
then parses all as one, while on terumah it is attempting to parse the 
header & footer as if they were independent of the file into which they are 
included.

Or in other words, PHP used to incorporate a 'require()ed' file without 
doing any work on it, and then parsed the whole thing together. So you 
could have an IF statement in the header [ if (...) { ] that ended in the 
footer [ } ].

No longer! That's why the same code is generating parse errors.
