Bug description: Make Zend case-sensitive (classes, functions, remove
case-insensitive)
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 :)
