    get_included_files

    (PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

    get_included_files — Retourne un tableau avec les noms des fichiers qui sont inclus dans un script

    Description

    get_included_files(): array

    Retourne un tableau contenant les noms de tous les fichiers qui ont été ajoutés au script avec les fonctions include, include_once, require ou require_once.

    Liste de paramètres

    Cette fonction ne contient aucun paramètre.

    Valeurs de retour

    Retourne un tableau contenant les noms de tous les fichiers.

    Le script en cours est considéré comme fichier inclus, il sera donc listé avec les autres fichiers dont il est fait référence avec include et les fonctions assimilées.

    Les fichiers inclus ou requis plusieurs fois ne s'affichent qu'une fois dans le tableau retourné.

    Exemples

    Exemple #1 Exemple avec get_included_files()

    <?php
    // Ce fichier est abc.php

    include 'test1.php';
    include_once     'test2.php';
    require     'test3.php';
    require_once     'test4.php';

    $included_files = get_included_files();

    foreach (    $included_files as $filename) {
    echo     "$filename\n";
    }

    ?>

    L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :

    /path/to/abc.php
/path/to/test1.php
/path/to/test2.php
/path/to/test3.php
/path/to/test4.php

    As of PHP5, this function seems to return an array with the first index being the script all subsequent scripts are included to.
    If index.php includes b.php and c.php and calls get_included_files(), the returned array looks as follows:

    index.php
    a.php
    b.php

    while in PHP<5 the array would be:

    a.php
    b.php

    If you want to know which is the script that is including current script you can use $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] or any other similar server global.

    If you also want to ensure current script is being included and not run independently you should evaluate following expression:

    __FILE__ != $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']

    If this expression returns TRUE, current script is being included or required.

    If you have a MAIN php script which you don't want to be included by other scripts, you could use this function. For example:

    main.php:
    <?php
    function blockit()
    {
    $buf = get_included_files();
    return     $buf[0] != __FILE__;
    }

    blockit() and exit("You can not include a MAIN file as a part of your script.");

    print     "OK";
    ?>

    So other script couldn't include main.php to modify its internal global vars.

    It's perhaps not clear from the existing docs that the returned list contains nested include files as well.

    That is, if A.php includes B.php, and B.php includes C.php, the result returned when calling get_included_files() from inside A.php WILL contain 'C.php'.

    As is often the case, YMMV. I tried the __FILE__ and SCRIPT_FILENAME comparison and found this:

    SCRIPT_FILENAME: /var/www/cgi-bin/php441
    __FILE__: /raid/home/natpresch/natpresch/RAY_included.php

    As an alternative:

    count(get_included_files());

    Gives one when the script is standalone and always more than one when the script is included.

    This function aims to perform filtering of files that have been included :

    <?php
    function setIncludeFiles($arrayInc = array()){
    $incFiles = get_included_files();
    if((    count($arrayInc)>0)&&(count($incFiles)>0)){
    $aInt = array_intersect($arrayInc,$incFiles);
    if(    count($aInt)>0){
    return     false;
    }elseif(    count($aInt)<1) {
    foreach(    $arrayInc as $inc){
    if(    is_file($inc))
    include(    $inc);
    else{
    return     false;
    }
    }
    }
    }else{
    return     false;
    }
    }
    ?>

    Usage :

    <?php
    $toBeInclude     = array('/data/your_include_files_1.php',
    '/data/your_include_files_2.php',
    '/data/your_include_files_3.php',
    );
    setIncludeFiles($toBeInclude);
    ?>

    Return false if something goes wrong.

    This is a great way to emulate Python's '__name__ = "__main__"'

    <?php
    if(get_included_files()[0] === __FILE__) doStuff();
    ?>
