Bug #14299 Updated: explode() case sensitivity.

ID: 14299 Updated by: philip Reported By: stephen@opido.com Old Status: Feedback Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: closed. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-30 15:05:38] philip@php.net Strings are case sensitive. Kinda like: if ($var == 'Bar') will return false if $var = 'bar'. Maybe because explode() is such a commonly used function, this could be mentioned here (that it's case sensitive). But doing so may open up a large can of worms (having to document this everywhere). I vote -.5 on implementing this. At first glance I don't see "strings being case sensitive" mention in the types.string section, maybe it should be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-30 11:01:44] stephen@opido.com I recently added a note to http://www.php.net/explode and was informed that I should probably post it here. Original Note: I'm not sure if this is intentional, but there is no indication whether explode() is case insensitive. I ended up having to convert my strings and keywords to lowercase using strtolower() in order to do this. I'm using 4.0.4, FWIW. I don't care one way or another if this is a bug or a documentation error since I was able to work around it, but I think other people may get confused when it fails to explode because there's no info about case sensitivity.
