Return from include file

Question

in PHP, how would one return from an included script back to the script where it had been included from?

IE:

1 - main script 2 - application 3 - included

Basically, I want to get back from 3 to 2, return() doesn't work.

Code in 2 - application

$page = "User Manager"; if($permission["13"] !=='1'){     include("/home/radonsys/public_html/global/error/permerror.php");     return(); } 

Answer 1

includeme.php:

$x = 5; return $x; 

main.php:

$myX = require 'includeme.php';  

also gives the same result

This is one of those little-known features of PHP, but it can be kind of nice for setting up really simple config files.
