Include PHP file not doing anything

Question

I have a folder with two files

import_books_cron.php 
book_importer.php

The first one looks like

<?php

echo 'Started';
include 'book_importer.php';
echo 'I will do sth';
import_books();
echo 'End';
?>

book importer looks like:

// This is some Wordpress stuff
if( !class_exists( 'WP_Http' ) )
    include_once( ABSPATH . WPINC. '/class-http.php' );

include ( 'functions.php' );


function import_books() {
   STUFF HERE
}

However, the only thing that I see on my terminal is 'Started'. The include statement does not seem to be working.

I have just basic knowledge of PHP. Any help?

Answer 1

在包含之前删除echo语句

Answer 2

Try this to make sure the file is actually getting loaded. if it is not, make sure it exists and is in the current folder since you are not using a path.

if(!@include("book_importer.php")) 
{
   echo "Not Loaded";

} else {
          echo "Loaded";
       }
