wp-config-sample.php missing () in last line of code

[jajosolo@…]

In wordpress version 5.4.1, in the wp-config-sample.php file:

Last 2 lines are:
/ Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php';

it SHOULD be:
/ Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

the difference is the () in the last line.

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

The parentheses were intentionally removed in [47198/trunk/wp-config-sample.php].

require and include are language constructs, not function calls, so the parentheses are unnecessary.

See also [47207] for more details.

thanks for the update
