PHP: include & require, what is different?

Hope this is not stupid question.

I read the manual frequently, still could not understand what different between include() and require(), it makes no different to me.

Could you show me in an example script to show the different result between those two? Thanks.

Well its pretty simple really and fairly self explanatory in the function names.

Both are including another file. Include() will try to get the file but if the file is not there or for some reason cant be included the rest of the script will continue.

Where as with require() if trys to include the file and if it cant the rest of the script will not be processed.

Both methods will return an error if the file cannot be included.

It's in what type of error it raises, include throws E_WARNING and require throws E_ERROR.
