Alternatively include() could be extended to allow resources, so the above would turn info if ($fp = @fopen($file, 'r', true)) { include($fp); fclose($fp); } Pros: No new function name needed, works with all streams (e.g. phar?) Cons: fopen/fclose are still needed, determining real path not obvious Maybes: Any security implications? Don't think so but not sure.
