Answer / arvind pippal
. 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.
include_once() should be used in cases where the same file
might be included and evaluatedmore than once during a
particularexecution of a script, and you want to be sure
that it is included exactly once to avoid problems with
function redefinitions, variable value reassignments, etc.
require_once() should be used in cases where the same file
might be included and evaluatedmore than once during a
particular execution of a script, and you want to be sure
that it is included exactly once to avoid problems with
function redefinitions, variable value reassignments, etc.

Answer / rahul anand
when we use require_once then if the file is not existed
then it will show the fetal error and will not execute the
instruction written under the require_once function. In the
case of include_once() if the file does not exist then it
will show the error message and also show the statements
written under the include_once function.

Answer / vineet kumar saini
1.include() includes a file in memory no matter if it has
already been loaded
2.include_once() includes a file in memory only if it has
not been loaded already
3.require() includes a file in memory no matter if it has
already been loaded. if the file cannot be loaded, the
script is aborted
4.require_once() does the same as require(), but only if the
file hasn't been included yet. if the file's already in
memory, it has no effect.

Answer / izhar aazmi
Include => Include the said file during execution...
Require => Require the said file for the execution...
As in english "require" mandatory inclusion is expected and
hence, on failure execution shall halt with fatal error...
