Differentiate between require() and include() function in PHP?

• require() and include() function in PHP are used to include a file. But the type of error if the file not found is different.
• include() function sends an error if file not found, whereas require() sends a fatal error.
• The include statement includes and evaluates a specified line. That is it will include a file within a given path.
• include will allow script to continue, whereas require will not allow script to continue.
• require_once() function will check if the file has already included. If so it will not include the file specified in the path again.
