Doc Bug #70031 require_once returns an incorrect value the second time
Submitted: 2015-07-08 23:53 UTC Modified: 2015-07-09 13:37 UTC

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.require-once
---

I'm not sure if this is a documentation problem or a PHP bug. The return value for require/include/require_once/include_once should be 1 unless it was overridden in the included file. However when doing require_once/include_once *twice*, the second time around it returns bool(true) instead of int(1).

Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(include_once('include_file_test.php'));
var_dump(include_once('include_file_test.php'));

/* Outputs:
int(1)
bool(true)
*/

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
