Re: Capitals in function names v get_class_methods

Thanks. I've been using PHP5 a little, but hadn't tried this one. I kind of suspected this answer, though. Roll on 5. Regards, dan Stefan Neufeind wrote:

I've just read in the pear guidelines that capitals are encouraged for function and variable names. e.g. thisIsMyFunction($myVariable) {

} I've recently re-written a configuation language which is extensible based purely on the fact that get_class_methods returns the available functions. But, it returns them in lower case. Surely it would be better to: i. write get_class_methods as case sensitive (perhaps it's lower than this function though) ii. write all function in lower case

Hi Dan, this is normal for PHP4. However, in PHP5 the returned names will correctly have upper-/lowercase. This is now necessary due to the correct DOM-implementation. So to be portable maybe strtolower the names returned before doing any comparison. Regards, Stefan
