Include and Require

The include or require statement takes all the Text/codde/markup this exists in the specified file and copies it into the File that uses the include statement.

The Include and require statements are identical, except upon failture:

• Require would produce a fatal error and stop the script
• Include would only produces a warning and the script would continue

So if you want the execution to go on and show users the output, even if the include file was missing, use the Include stat Ement. Otherwise, in case of the Framework or a complex PHP application coding, always use the Require statement to include a key fil E to the flow of exectution. This would help you avoid compromising your application's security and integrity, just in-case one key file is accidentally Missing.
