[PHP] Includes confusion

[Mike Tuller]

I can't figure this out. I have a line where I include a file

include "/Library/WebServer/includes/database_connection.inc";

I want to have this declared in one location, so that I don't have to 
change multiple lines if I ever move the application, everything works 
fine except inside functions. So if I have the following:

include "/Library/WebServer/includes/database_connection.inc";

function list_search_results()
{
        // my code that lists search results
}
The functions returns an error, but if I do this:

function list_search_results()
{
        include "/Library/WebServer/includes/database_connection.inc";
        // my code that lists search results
}
Everything works fine. Shouldn't the function be able to use the 
include file when it is declared outside the function?
