Answer / devendrarjadav
The include_once() function includes and evaluates the
specified file during the execution of the php script. It's
behavior is similar to the include() function but the only
difference is that if the code from a file has already been
included, it will not be included again.

Answer / anjan
The include_once() statement includes and evaluates the
specified file during the execution of the script. This is a
behavior similar to the include() statement, with the only
difference being that if the code from a file has already
been included, it will not be included again. As the name
suggests, it will be included just once.

Answer / joshna
Include():by using this include()we can embed external page
in the current script multiple time,if the embeded file is
not available it returns a warning message and executes the
rest of the statements.The include_once() is same as include
() but it includes the external file only one time and
ignores the remaining all include_once statement which
contains the same file name.

better than include().
