PHP Manual: Returns an array with the names of included or required files

Description

array get_included_files()

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

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

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.

Examples

<?php
// This file is abc.php

$included_files = get_included_files();

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

/path/to/abc.php
