require_once () or die() not working
php
Solution
or has a higher precedence than require/require_once. Therefore php evaluates
('abc.php') or die("oops")
before passing the result to require_once. Or takes two boolean operands. ('abc.php') evaluates to true therefore the whole expression is true and
require_once true;
is invoked. require_once takes a string, bool(true)->string => 1 =>
Failed opening required '1'
You don't need the or die(...) there. If the file can't be read require_once will stop the php instance anyway.
Problem
Does anyone know why my require_once () or die(); is not working. It's always shown the Fatal error instead of the error message that I key in into the die(). See below for my code: ``` require_once ('abc.php') or die("oops"); ``` Error message display as below "Fatal error: controller::require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '1' (include_path='....." instead of the message ("oops") I key in.
