The question was under what key the class entry should be stored... At any rate, it's a non-issue; Saving the 'beautiful' version of the class name is possible, but is a bit hacky IMHO. There should be an optional case sensitive mode, and we'll introduce one in one of the future versions of PHP. Zeev At 18:04 4/5/2001, Colin Viebrock wrote:
I don't think it is trivial to implement this without: a) Creating a second version of our hash tables (I don't like duplicate code). b) Adding more complexity to the already complex hash tables. I don't know enough about Zend internals to speak with any authority, but wouldn't an "easy" way of doing this be to: a) store *only* the mixed case version of the class name in the hash table, and b) change get_class(), etc. so that they automatically pass the result through strtolower() (or whatever) first ... unless the optional second argument is passed, in which case it's just returned as is. You wouldn't need a bigger nor an additional hash table, AFAICT, and only what I imagine is relatively minor code changes to the get_class(), etc. functions. - Colin -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
