Case of names can be easily converted by program.

do you think it will be easy in this situation?:

I'm well aware of cases auto conversion is difficult.

thats not what "can be easily converted" implied ...

and, by the way: what kind of a program is going to convert this

For windows, it's just a matter of downloading php.exe if it's written in PHP, isn't it? windows users do not like command lines ;)

It's easy/intuitive to know where to look/fix "function not found" error, if scripts were working under PHP4 :) it is for you and for me, but our average user is well below

our level :( look at all the user questions and bug reports regarding things like "can't send header ... output already started at ...", "notice: undefined variable" or "notice: undefined constant xyz, asuming 'xyz' instead" a lot of people do not read error messages, they just see that something does not work as it should and with my example of callback functions it usualy isn't even clear where the actual error is due to the additional level of indirection Zeev: btw., what about my "undefinde function ... maybe you were

      looking for ... instead?" patch? could be extended to look
      for case-only differences before performing the levenschtein
      comparison *if* we switch to case sensitivity so we at least
      had a better error messge even if people don't read it ;)
