PHP File Inclusion

Thank you for visiting OWASP.org. We have migrated our community to a new web platform and regretably the content for this page needed to be programmatically ported from its previous wiki page. There’s still some work to be done.

Description

PHP, as many other languages, allows the inclusion of files in order to provide or extend the functionality of the current file.

Risk Factors

TBD

Examples

<?PHP include ‘/path/filename.php’; include_once ‘path/filename.class.php’; require ‘../path/filename.inc’; require_once ‘filename.inc.php’; ?>

  • Remote file inclusion using variables from the request POST or GET
