Add example to include/require file

[vrana]

I've read through the examples at Php-Wasm in Javascript and Php-Wasm in Static HTML and I haven't found an example of how to include / require / include_once / require_once another PHP file. My use-case is pretty simple. I have a PHP file with a function and I want to use it from JS. I've tried many different options but all of them failed, usually with this error:

Warning: PHP Request Startup: Failed opening 'phpShrink.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:') in php-wasm run script on line 2

Am I missing something obvious?

@vrana You should be able to include any additional PHP files under the files constructor parameter, which is available under static HTML as the data-files attribute. Once they're in the FS you should be able to include then normally.

Thank you. It seems that this was simply a version problem. I've imported https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/php-wasm/PhpWeb.mjs but you need to import https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/php-wasm@0.0.9-alpha-20/PhpWeb.mjs. Can you please add this to https://php-wasm.seanmorr.is/filesystem/loading-files.html?

Note - for non-trivial use cases, such as embedding mature, composer-driven projects such as Symfony, Laravel, or Drupal, which may consist of thousands of files, it may be easier to utilize a custom build.

I've recently been experimenting with custom builds with some some success. The current state of the custom builds process seems to be a tad much for the casual web developer, in my opinion, but I'm confident that a bit of documentation enhancement can go a long way.
