PHP needs locale insensitive strcasecmp() or your developers will continue hitting string comparison issues in Turkish and Azerbaijani. Ilia patched it in timezone parsing code.

Its a solution that works. There are very few instances where such behavior is needed and in php6 it won't be relevant anyway since posix locales will not be used. Ilia Alshanetsky
