PHP Include and Require

PHP allows you to include files within your PHP scripts using include and require. The difference is that include produces a warning if the file is not found, while require produces a fatal error.

Using Include

Use include() to include a file in your script:

      
        <?php
          include('header.php'); // Includes the header file
          echo "This is the main content.";
        ?>
      
    

Using Require

Use require() to include a file that must be included, otherwise the script will stop execution:

      
        <?php
          require('config.php'); // Must include config file for the script to run
          echo "This is the main content.";
        ?>
