This question already has answers here:

Should be a string

require_once('./includes/functions.inc');

You are missing Quotes

<?php require_once("./includes/functions.inc"); ?>

http://php.net/manual/en/function.require-once.php

<?php require_once("./includes/functions.inc"); ?>

Strings need to be quoted.

Comments

It should be a string require_once './includes/functions.inc'; - as an aside require_once is a language construct not a function, the parentheses are not necessary.
As for the . at the beginning of the path, it tells the command to look in the current directory. It's mostly the same as includes/functions.inc
Thanks to yous both, it now works! @CD001
