What is the difference between require and include with php? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Include and require are identical, except upon failure:

require will produce a fatal error (E_COMPILE_ERROR) and stop the script
include will only produce a warning (E_WARNING) and the script will continue

You can understand with examle include("test.php"); echo "\nThis line will be print";

Output :Warning: include(test.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/........ This line will be print

require("test.php"); echo "\nThis line will be print"; Warning: require(test.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/....

Answer 2

require requires, include includes.

According to the manual:

require() is identical to include() except upon failure it will produce a fatal E_ERROR level error. In other words, it will halt the script whereas include() only emits a warning (E_WARNING) which allows the script to continue.
