3. MCP Server Reference › 3.3 Engine › PHP files › engine_php_load

Loads a PHP file — a module, a library or a root script — together with the module’s manifest.

The Right

“Direct access → Development → Read data” (AGENT_ENGINE_DEV_READ).

Parameters

Parameter	Type	What it is
`path`	string	the file’s path: `units/melbis_cataloge.php`, `index.php`

The Answer

Two blocks: the data in JSON, then the file’s body as text — as it is, with no escaping.

{
  "path": "./../units/melbis_cataloge.php",
  "manifest": {"unit_info": "Cataloge menu", "param_info": "", "table_info": "topic=1",
               "includes": "melbis_inc_web_topic.php=1", "cache_on": 0, "cache_time": 2,
               "lazy_load": 0, "ajax_load": 0,
               "trick_on": 0, "trick_load_idx": 0, "trick_load_max": 0,
               "trick_comp_max": 0, "trick_time_max": 0,
               "smart_on": 0, "smart_load_idx": 0, "smart_load_max": 0, "smart_comp_max": 0}
}

Field	What it is
`path`	the file’s path
`manifest`	the module’s manifest: the text keys as strings, the flags and the limits as numbers — see “PHP Files”. For a root script `null`

An empty file comes without the text block.

Refusals

Answer	When
`File not found: … Check the path against engine_map_tree.`	there is no file at this path
`path is required…`	`path` is not named
