Re: PHP and case-sensitivity inconsistency in PHP 6

Hi! > So essentially, I would like to see case sensitivity at call time > (called name must match declaration), but case insensitivity at > declaration time (when checking whether a symbol has already been > declared): What would function_exists('Foo') return when foo() is defined? If false, then this code: if (!function_exists('Foo')) { function Foo() { ... } } would not work. If true, then this code: if(function_exists('Foo')) { Foo(); } would not work. Both are working fine now and there's no real reason why shouldn't they keep working. Additionally, making the engine case-sensitive would simplify some areas of function/class handling. But making it inconsistently partially case-sensitive would instead complicate it, as we now would have to make additional checks against original name before calling. My opinion is if we go case-sensitive, it must be full case sensitivity, no exceptions. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
