RE: [PHP-DEV] bug 18556 - tolower & locales

Hi Nikita, That was my first problem with the code, too! I would make the Zend engine use the ROOT Locale for PHP's language parsing (in Java it's called Locale.ROOT, in C it’s the Locale named ""), so its invariant to local settings but works correct for all of Unicode. In theory, this "case insensitive matching" should *not* be done by lowercasing, in Unicode the correct way to do it is by "case folding", which is something different (but using the ROOT locale has almost the same effect). In general methods like Java's String.equalsIgnoreCase(String) do this internally. I don't think ASCII-only lowercasing is in-compatible to the allowed PHP identifier characters used by class names and what else.
