get_included_files

(PHP 4 )

get_included_files --  Returns an array with the names of included or required files

Description

array get_included_files ( void)

Returns an array of the names of all files that have been included using include(), include_once(), require() or require_once().

Files that are included or required multiple times only show up once in the returned array.

Note: Files included using the auto_prepend_file configuration directive are not included in the returned array.

Example 1. get_included_files() Example

<?php

include("test1.php");
include_once("test2.php");
require("test3.php");
require_once("test4.php");

$included_files = get_included_files();

foreach($included_files as $filename) {
    echo "$filename\n";
}

?>
will generate the following output: 

test1.php
test2.php
test3.php
test4.php

Note: In PHP 4.0.1pl2 and previous versions get_included_files() assumed that the required files ended in the extension .php; other extensions would not be returned. The array returned by get_included_files() was an associative array and only listed files included by include() and include_once().

See also: include(), include_once(), require(), require_once(), and get_required_files().
