i'm trying to improve my coding style, so i'm starting to use PHP Code Sniffer to follow standards. Im confused by this rule "PEAR.Files.IncludingFile.UseRequireOnce" what's wrong on include_once? Is it serious violation of standard to suppres this sniff?
Thaks for your answers and advices.
There's no "right" answer, it's whatever you want your coding standards to be.
Personally, I would use a rule that marked "require_once" as incorrect since it's the exact same as include_once with no chance to check the result for errors. A fatal error because of class not found or a fatal error because require_once failed both have no chance for graceful recovery in PHP.
