Re: [PEPr] Comment on PEAR::NameScheme

Dmitry Koteroff (http://pear.php.net/user/koteroff) has commented on the proposal for PEAR::NameScheme. Comment: Some comments about PHP5's __autoload() usage: ... fuction __autoload($cls) { return PEAR_NameScheme_Autoload::classAutoloader($cls); } [/code] Here $classname is ALWAYS passed in lowercase, so we need to manually search for class file in include_path. PEAR_NameScheme helps. (PEAR_NameScheme_Autoload is not proposed now, it is used here as example.)

Why do people keep saying this? As of quite awhile the classname passed to __autoload() respects the case of the calling code! PHP5 has been class case-respective (if not sensitive) for some time now. I'm beginning to think that no one on the PEAR lists actually uses PHP5 since this has been asserted several times now w/ no correction. Hans
