The following worked in PHP3, but does not work in PHP4. There are three files, the first 'test.php' includes the other two 'test1.php' and 'test2.php'.

test.php:
  <?php
  include('test1.php');
  include('test2.php');
  ?>

test1.php:
  <?php
  $myvar = 1;
  if ($myvar) {
  ?>

test2.php:
  <html><body>mynum = 1</body></html>
  <?php
  } else {
  ?>
  <html><body>mynum = 0</body>
  </html>
  <?php
  }
  ?> 


Error messages with using include():
  Parse error: parse error in test1.php on line 4
  Parse error: parse error in test2.php on line 8

Error messages with using require():
  Parse error: parse error in test1.php on line 4


Configure parameters:
  % ./configure --enable-track-vars --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/1.3/bin/apxs --with-mysql --enable-trans-sid --enable-versioning


The documentation indicates that include() and require() will treat the included file as if it were part of the main file. I believe having if() work across included files is an important capability.

include()'d files should contain complete valid PHP code. 
That's because they are now independently compiled, not just 
concatenated. If you need concatenation, use string operations then eval().
