Looks like you don't understand the term case-insensitive, so I will use a simple example...

We are talking about a string comparison not a function call. Please provide a code sample which shows that 'HTML_QuickForm_group' is the same as 'html_quickform_group' otherwise please stop avoiding the issue.

Again, what does this issue have to do with how __autoload() is used? An autoload function may have been used to find the problematic line of code but __autoload() is not the source of the problem. While there may be a need for an RFC relating to __autoload(), it is not relavent to the current discussion.

I hope my little example helped you understand that the issue is not as simple as fixing just one line. In a language with no namespaces and case-insensitivity, you need to follow some rules in order not to mess things up, just like we did with private members. So I am repeating myself :

I know. You guys have been doing that a lot. Yet no one has satisfied my request. We are talking about a simple change (and yes it is simple) that has only positive benefits for the users of the package. I really don't understand why you guys are being so stuborn about this. Please swallow your pride and make QF a better package. That is all I am asking. I am not asking you to patch the PHP source to modify is_a(). I am not asking you to make a questionable change that could have a negative impact. I am asking you to change one line of code to make life easier on PEAR users. That's it. You don't even have to release a new version right away. All I want to know is that when I update the package the change will be in there. If you are just going to reply about how __autoload shouldn't be called or we need an RFC, please don't waste any more of my time. There is no good reason that this package isn't being fixed and frankly it is very disappointing. Scott Mattocks
