Wow, this is really urgent!

I think it's easy to solve this one, isn't it?

I remember Zend Survey about PHP and most people use windows to develop
in PHP. Like me, tons of people have an apache or IIS installed on
win2k/xp to run and test scripts at home or work.

I really want to test/use this new version of php, but i can't install
in the same instance of apache as module and i don't want to run 2
servers in different ports or use it as cgi... the best would be run
*.php5 with php5...

This thread is open since february... we are in october.. come on, is
it really so hard to change the name of 3 files??

A workarround for the .ini problem is to setup two different paths for
each PHP installation, so one is in /usr/lib and the other is in
/usr/local/lib (for exemple).

Also would be nice if the ini file was named php5.ini instead of just
php.ini. This way we could have both php 4 and 5 installed and not have
ini conflicts.

Also just wandering if there is a timeline for this fix.

Making this 'Critical' so it's not forgotten.. :)

It would be useful to change the names of files php4apache.dll,
php4apache2.dll and php4ts.dll on php5*.dll

also the module in apache should be called
php5_module not php4_module

#23026 [Com]: Make Zend case-sensitive (classes, functions, remove case-insensitive)

A case-sensitive language is a GREAT feature. It could be implemented
as an option in php.ini!

Hey, when register_globals where turned off by default, i helped tons
of people who had no idea why their scripts didn't work. This option
would be no different.

It can start as an disabled option in php.ini, and someday, in a year
or two it may be enabled by default... nobody will be hurt.

I just can't understand why variables and constants are case-sensitive
while functions and classes are not.

Yes, it's a cosmetic thing, but it improves the look of code and logic
of your program.

Keep subject for bugdb searching.

Make Zend case-sensitive (and therefore PHP) in regards to namesapces,
classes, functions. Basically everything which is currently
str_tolower()d inside the engine.

This is just a meta-bug to keep track of suggestions to this topic.

A big NO is to make such a thing php.ini dependant (Not yet another
switch) but truly case-sensitive.

For a start our great Hero[tm] Andrei has made a patch some time ago
against ZE2 to achive this goal (see
http://www.gravitonic.com/software/php/ ). It doesn't apply cleanly to
current HEAD but given the patch size it should be trivial to get it
working.

The big contra many people are concerned is BC (backwards
compatibility). Yes, face it. Changing this behaviour will definitely
break millions of scripts. I'm having bad dreams remembering reading
code like $db = MySQL_Connect (and therefore failing my search for it
with 'grep mysql_connect *' because I was to lazy about three extra
characters ;).

Also see (bogusified) bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15415 for a
VOTE on this issue.

Ok, there we go :)
