Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-14 13:33:44] staff at pro-unreal dot de Description: ------------ I Opened This because #48129 is set to "won't fix". But this affects major frameworks i.e. (ZendFramework, FLOW3).It would be nice to tell spl_autoload() not to lowercase all filenames so that these framworks can benefit from its performance. To stay backwards compatible this could be done via php.ini or a function call. I would suggest spl_autoload_casesensitive in php.ini or a method spl_autoload_casesensitive(bool $flag); Another more compatible option could be handling this inside of spl_autoload(). Check for unmodified case first (i.e. Zend/Db/Adapter/Abstract.php) and if this is not available try lowercased (i.e. zend/db/adapter/abstract.php) This Solutions won't break BC! Test script: --------------- <?php namespace Test; use Zend\Controller; slp_autoload_casesensitive(true); spl_autoload_extensions('.php'); spl_autoload_register(); // this should load from correct ZF path: Zend/Controller/Front.php; $request = new Controller\Front(); Expected result: ---------------- Class should be loaded from Zend/Controller/Front.php in include path Actual result: -------------- Class is always loaded from zend/controller/front.php in include path ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53065&edit=1
