get_included_files

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

get_included_filesReturns an array with the names of included or required files

Description

array get_included_files ( void )

Gets the names of all files that have been included using include, include_once, require or require_once.

Return Values

Returns an array of the names of all files.

The script originally called is considered an "included file," so it will be listed together with the files referenced by include and family.

Files that are included or required multiple times only show up once in the returned array.

Changelog

Version Description
4.0.1 In PHP 4.0.1 and previous versions this function assumed that the required files ended in the extension .php; other extensions would not be returned. The array returned by get_included_files() was an associative array and only listed files included by include and include_once.

Examples

Example #1 get_included_files() example

<?php
// This file is 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";
}

?>

The above example will output:

abc.php
test1.php
test2.php
test3.php
test4.php

Notes

Note:

Files included using the auto_prepend_file configuration directive are not included in the returned array.

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.

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.

Something that's not noted in the docs, if a file is included remotely and you do a get_included_files() in the include itself it will *not* return the document that included it.

ie:
test2.php (server 192.168.1.14):
<?php

include("http://192.168.1.11/test/test3.php");

?>

test3.php (server 192.168.1.11):

<?php

$files 
get_included_files();

print_r($files);
?>

returns:

Array ( [0] => /var/www/localhost/htdocs/test/test3.php ) 

Which means you can use get_included_files() to help intercept and prevent XSS-style attacks against your code.

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.

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.

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'.

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

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