[Mediawiki-l] Enabling an extension

Thanks!

I will use require_once then.

And the correct syntax is require_once("extensions/blabla.php"); ?

All of the methods mentioned are valid PHP statements and do more or 
less the same (all will work), but with a few notable differences:
- include: Past the code here, continue without error if the file is not

found.

- require: Past the code here, raise an error if the file is not found.

- require_once: Only past the code here once and give an error if the 
file is not found. If the file is included/required further down in the 
code that statement is ignored.

I advise you to use the require_once statement, mainly because the 
extension might contain functions and/or classes that will give an error

if defined twice.
