Description
This rule emphasizes the importance of using require_once or include_once instead of require or include in PHP. The main reason behind this is to avoid the inclusion of the same file more than once. If a file is included multiple times, it may lead to function redefinitions, variable value reassignments, and other unexpected behaviors which can be hard to debug.
require_once and include_once are statements that handle this problem effectively. They check if the file has already been included, and if so, they do not include it again. This ensures that the code within the file is executed only once, maintaining the integrity of your PHP application.
To comply with this rule, always use require_once or include_once when you want to include a PHP file. This will help to prevent potential issues with function redefinition or variable reassignment, and will make your code more reliable and easier to manage.
