Which is the better syntax while including a file in PHP? -

this question has answer here:

• is php's 'include' function or statement? 9 answers

some people include files this:

include ('file.php'); 

and people include files this:

include 'file.php'; 

i think here use of brackets unnecessary. views? style better , why?

when brackets unnecessary, it's better remove them (same return instead of return () give better performances). same includes.

note: note since return language construct , not function, parentheses surrounding arguments not required. common leave them out, , should php has less work in case.

moreoever, using whole path include better relative.
