Hello,
Is anybody know the difference between require or include?

Basically require throws a Fatal error and exits the script's execution if the file to be 'required' is not present; where-as include just throws a warning and script execution continues.
It really depends on the context on which to use, though I can think of very few reasons you'd want a script to continue if you told it to include something and that file didn't exist.
From the manual:

require() and include() are identical in every way except how they handle failure. They both produce a Warning, but require() results in a Fatal Error. In other words, don't hesitate to use require() if you want a missing file to halt processing of the page. include() does not behave this way, the script will continue regardless. Be sure to have an appropriate include_path setting as well.
