Just thought it might help someone to know that the variable names for the superglobals cannot be
relied upon to be case-insensitive.
In other words, to be sure your scripts will run correctly, you must use $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE,
etc., and *not* $_get, $_Get; $_post, $_Post; $_cookie, $_Cookie... or whatever. (I just spent an
hour troubleshooting a script for someone and finally figured out the reason it wasn't working
was that they were using "$_Get" and "$_Post" and these don't work.)
I found that the superglobal variablenames are case-sensitive on PHP 4.3.2/4.3.3 for Win32 and 4.3.2
on Linux, and I think that's enough to prove the point that it's not safe to regard them
as otherwise.
