Insensitive names for classes

Hi. No, this is not a posting on not hurting the feelings of your objects. I use Java style class names... class MyClass { ... } That is mixed case. This works fine until I register the class name in some kind of list (e.g. for a singleton pattern). "MyClass" and "myclass" are identical and get_class() returns the lower case version for each. This took me a few hours of head scratching to figure out as I was using references heavily at the time and assumed that I was screwing them up like everyone else. This also caught me by surprise. I looked a little deeper and found that this... $fred = "Hello"; $FRED = "World"; echo $fred." ".$FRED; ...caused complete chaos. I am using the OS/2 version of PHP. Does this carry over to the Linux version or is it a porting issue? If this is a bug, can we "fix" this or at least have it documented under get_class(). It may be documented elsewhere, but I could not find it. yours, Marcus. p.s. If people have already mentioned this I apologise, but my bandwidth is rather low and downloading a month or two of messages would have taken a while. Sorry to all if I am repeating known stuff. -- web:- http://www.appo.demon.co.uk Marcus (mobile): nokia@appo.demon.co.uk Marcus: marcus@mirrormill.com, ICQ:68231455 Aviva: aviva@appo.demon.co.uk
