Re: Proposal for PHP 7 : case-sensitive symbols

Using strtolower() all over place in the Engine to keep There's a huge difference between "not recommended" and breaking the code. Using if() without braces, or inconsistent indentation - is not recommended. Making such code not work would be a huge mistake. > It's BC, but it would be easy spot it by an compatibility check script. Once > case is used properly, scripts run both new and old PHP.

There's no "therefore" - you'll still have to fix all that code, and if you think it all will be findable by a simple script, you severely underestimate the dynamic nature of things people do with PHP. This is a very big change and should not be dismissed lightly. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
