In PHP 4.0.1 and previous versions this function assumed that the
required files ended in the extension <em>.php</em>; other
extensions would not be returned. The array returned by
<span class="function"><strong>get_included_files()</strong></span> was an associative array and
only listed files included by <span class="function"><a href="function.include.html" class="function">include</a></span> and
<span class="function"><a href="function.include-once.html" class="function">include_once</a></span>.
