Description:
------------
Include and require treat drive letters in path names case-sensitive
(whereas Windows does not). This leads to (unjustified) "Cannot
redeclare ..." errors for classes or functions in certain situations.
Reproduce code:
---------------
include_once 'c:/some/path/file.php';
include_once 'c:/some/PATH/file.php';
include_once 'C:/some/path/file.php';
(assume file.php contains a function or class definition)
Expected result:
----------------
Running all three include statements should be safe, as the path
definitely points to the same directory on Windows. I remember PHP4
used to choke on the second include because paths were treated
case-insensitive, however PHP5 chokes on the third one.
Actual result:
--------------
The third include_once statement yields an error
"Cannot redeclare ... (previously declared in ...) ..."
