Wrapper Class For Include_once / Require_once

• 

        Here's a great wrapper class for include_once & require_once. Picked this one up from Pure PHP (http://www.pure-php.de/node/22).

<strong>Usage:</strong>

<?php
require("includeWrapper.class.php");
includeWrapper::includeOnce("test.php");
includeWrapper::includeOnce("test.php");
includeWrapper::includeOnce("test.php");
print_r(includeWrapper::getPaths());
?>

<strong>Output:</strong>

Array
(
[test.php] => 1
)

<strong>Source Code:</strong>

<?php
class includeWrapper{
    public static $paths = array();
    public static function includeOnce($path_file){
        if(!isset(self::$paths[$path_file])){
            include($path_file);
            self::$paths[$path_file] = true;
        }
    }
    public static function requireOnce($path_file){
        if(!isset(self::$paths[$path_file])){
            require($path_file);
            self::$paths[$path_file] = true;
        }
    }
    // just for testing
    public static function getPaths(){
        return self::$paths;
    }
}
?>
