runkit_import — Process a PHP file importing function and class definitions, overwriting where appropriate

### Description

runkit_import ( string `$filename` [, int `$flags` = RUNKIT_IMPORT_CLASS_METHODS ] ) : bool

### Parameters

`filename`

  Filename to import function and class definitions from

`flags`

  Bitwise OR of the RUNKIT_IMPORT_* family of constants.

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

### Examples

/* import only static properties of classes
(RUNKIT_IMPORT_CLASS_STATIC_PROPS is available since 1.0.1) */
