I posted before reading the remainder of the thread. :) One "problem" with case sensitivity (perhaps) is that it may make some scripts non-portable. Say I develop a super-duper PEAR class using case-sensitive code (cause that's what I have on my server). Someone who is running PHP in case-insensitive mode will complain when my code says: if (get_class($foo)=='Some_Class_Name')) { ... So all code that might be shared either a) needs to only us lowercase names, b) coders need to implicity lowercase their comparisons by changing the above line to: if (strtolower(get_class($foo))=='some_class_name')) { ... or c) we also need a way to switch between sensitivity modes through PHP code (either an ini_set() call, or something else). Also, case-sensitivity means I can write code with functions like StrReplace() and MySQL_Fetch_Row(), which will seriously cause problems on non-case-sensitive installs ... unless all variations of PHP functions are reserved. - Colin
