ID: 17882 Updated by: andi@php.net Reported By: erickoh@chopchopsolutions.com -Status: Closed +Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.0-dev New Comment: This wasn't really fixed so I'm reopening the bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-29 04:38:58] andi@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. We error out now if the same method is declared more than once. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 14:13:00] mfischer@php.net It's actually a duplicate, I'm pretty sure, but can't find the @$@#^^&%3 report ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 14:06:42] sander@php.net Hm, you're right. This is a bug. Confirmed with 4.3.0-dev. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 14:02:50] erickoh@chopchopsolutions.com Hi, I understand that PHP functions are not case sensitive. Declaring such 2 functions outside a class gives: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare a() in /var/www/html/a.php on line 6 However declaring the same 2 functions in a class produces no errors. This led me to believe that class methods are case-sensitive. I think it will be nice if an error can be thrown during the interpretation phase, else a note about this should be put in under the section 'PHP Classes' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 13:47:17] sander@php.net Functions names are not case sensitive and I'm sure that's noted somewhere in the manual. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
