Except that this stops all errors, including file not found (which you
can "fix" by raising an error if the call fails), but parse errors in
the included file cause the script to die without any error or
response.

file_exists can still be used, but the code has to loop through the
include_path to check for the file.

You can use something like this, as long as you don't worry about
allowing users to put their drivers in their own directories.

include_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/drivers/'.$driver.'.php');

OR

you can say to hell with "file not found" errors and use include_once
without the @. IMHO attempting to include a driver which does not
exist is a pretty fatal error anyway. If someone doesn't want these
errors showing up they can easily set display_errors or
error_reporting to 0.
