# Breaking: #67646 - PHP library inclusion in frontend removed

See [forge#67646](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/67646)

## Description

The PHP library inclusion into the TYPO3 Frontend has been removed without substitution.
Previously it was used to include plain PHP scripts during the Frontend request.

The method `PageGenerator::getIncFiles()` has been removed.

## Impact

The TypoScript options `config.includeLibrary` and `config.includeLibs` have no effect anymore.
Any calls to `PageGenerator::getIncFiles()` will result in a fatal error.

## Affected Installations

Any installation using the TypoScript options named above.
Any third party code using the method named above.

## Migration

Use hooks during the Frontend set up to execute custom PHP code.
