Isn't this in a hash key which is case sensitive? Then the only possibility would be to always lower case it... which is a 'weird' fix for this. I really wonder why this should be fixed in code. Why would you want to use "require_once("FoO.php"); " in one script, and require_once("FOO.PHP") a little bit down? It's just something of keeping style in a script which is definitely not a bad thing. I'd say that time could better be spend on real fixes...
No I was not thinking about lower casing (although that is an option). I was wondering if it's possible to do something like realpath() in Windows which gives you the pretty name (the case preserving name). We could then use that and it would look good in error messages too.
