Re: Re: array_change_key_case()? key_exists()?

Jeroen what you did was completely irresponsible. Without even starting a discussion about whether a function is needed or not you take steps to undocument them?!? I added array_change_key_case to address issues of making PEAR::DB truly portable since different db backends have different conventions on returning the case of column names. How else would you make an application that is supposed to run on both Oracle in Postgres using asoc arrays as return values? Or process the results of getallheaders() function.
