Generating Colour Palettes From Images In PHP
A common web design pattern is to incorporate an image into the design of the page. This creates a tighter integration with the image and the rest of the page.
The main issue in designing a page around the image is that the colours of the page must match the image. Otherwise this creates a dissonance between the image and the styles of the site.

arent they identical... apart from include() on fail produces a warning and the rest of the script can continue, whereas require() on fail will produce an error and the script will cease

PermalinkI didn't know about this. I could have looked in the docs, but since you brought it up, I wanted to find out from you.
