So is your locale something other than "C" or "POSIX"? "en_US.ISO-8859-1" for example? Yup, thats what its set to. Perhaps ext/xml/tests/007.phpt could check whether it is able to successfully use strtoupper() on $xmldata - and if not, just skip that test? I have no problem with this test failing. It actually provides useful information. I'm not one to second-guess the intentions of the author of this test ('sniper' I think).

But the reason for failure is not very clear, plus the manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php#xml.case-folding) makes no mention of the fact that it may fail and/or why. Using non-ascii chars for tags, doesn't fall into the 'best practice' category for me, but opinions differ :) We could make strtoupper locale aware, with an optional argument "charset", but even then it can fail (tried it). What would be nice - in general - is a "skip reason". Have that implemented already, but due to "zlib.c:313: undefined reference to `_php_stream_gets'" I'm now unable to test it properly.
