included files not respected - php

Question

Trying to include a php file in a script and even though the page loads without showing or logging errors, the included file is not executed.
I have created a test file that looks like this:
<?php
$sale_amount = '10.00';
$product = 'Drive-Plan';
include('partners/controller/record-sale.php');
echo "commission counted"
?>
opening this file in browser completes the expected function.
Trying to include this same code in my script does not complete the function.
original script works good:
/**
* Swap current users plan to a new one.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Routing\ResponseFactory|\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
*/
public function swapPlan() {
if ($this->user->subscribed() && Input::get('plan')) {
$this->user->subscription(Input::get('plan'))->swap();
return response(trans('app.planSwapSuccess', ['plan' => Input::get('plan')]), 200);
}
}
Including my file in this script does not have the expected effect.
/**
* Swap current users plan to a new one.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Contracts\Routing\ResponseFactory|\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
*/
public function swapPlan() {
if ($this->user->subscribed() && Input::get('plan')) {
$this->user->subscription(Input::get('plan'))->swap();
return response(trans('app.planSwapSuccess', ['plan' => Input::get('plan')]), 200);
$sale_amount = '10.00';
$product = 'Drive-Plan';
include('partners/controller/record-sale.php');
}
}
The page will complete loading without errors, however the function that should be completed by the included file is not executed. Any Ideas on what I may have done wrong are appreciated.
I have spent a few days trying to figure this out. Since my test file works I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious in the full script.
Thanks for looking.
Comeplete file:

Answer 1

Your method ends on return, meaning your include in the methods and variables being set are never reached.
An example:
Moving said include and variables to before the return should solve the issue.
/**
* Resume a canceled subscription.
*/
public function resumeSubscription() {
$this->user->subscription(Input::get('plan'))->resume(Input::get('token'));
// Moved to before return
$sale_amount = '10.00';
$product = 'Drive-Plan';
include('partners/controller/record-sale.php');
return $this->user;
// UNREACHABLE
//$sale_amount = '10.00';
//$product = 'Drive-Plan';
//include('partners/controller/record-sale.php');
}
