[development] How to make Require_once refreshable

[Nancy Wichmann]

I don't have APC. It is PHP 5.2.5 and Apache 2.2.6.

So I guess that means I'm editing the wrong file. Sigh...

By default, PHP will reload files on disk every page request.  If it's
not, then it's doing something weird.

Possible causes:

1) You're running APC in no-stat mode.  You need to restart apache for
it to flush its cache.  This is not a good mode to run a dev server for
the reason you're seeing.

2) You're running APC not in no-stat mode, but it's acting buggy and is
not stating anyway.  Restart apache or disable APC.

3) You're actually editing the wrong file.  I have lots of copies of
Drupal floating around my web directories.  It happens at times. :-)

4) The code you think is running is not actually running, so your debug
statements are never reached.  This has happened to me, too.

5) Your OS or Apache are just being buggy.  Switch to a less buggy OS or
Apache.
