If include in php is like include in c, then yes.
Sourcing a file into a script is essentially the same as running the file, except it uses the currently active process rather than starting a new one....so it's extending the current script with the contents of an external file as if the external file was a part of the script.
It's very useful for utilizing things like functions and variables that are applied to multiple scripts.

Is the source command just like 'include' in PHP?

In my view it's similar to virtual().
