Question

I have a require for a file in my php code. This require exists twice in the code.

require 'test.php';

echo $result;

require 'test.php';

Is there a way to clear all the variables the first require sets before running the second require on the exact same file?

Answer 1

You could wrap the require in a function, if you don’t use global vars. In that case all the variables you create will be limited to the function scope.

function includeFile() {
    require 'test.php';
    echo $result;
}

includeFile();

includeFile();

But it would be much better to create a class as it was suggested in the comments.
