No. Certainly not. I guess there's a lot of people used to VB in php-windows@,
and I'm not subscribed to php-general@ anymore, so I don't know about that,
but everyone who raised their voice on this topic on php-dev@ or php-qa@ has
been for making function names case-sensitive.
I guess I don't find that very surprising. The people on those lists are C programmers who are very comfortable with a case sensitive language. The typical user of PHP is most likely not a C programmer and in fact very likely to be switching from Cold Fusion or ASP in the windows platform. If you want to lure these people into your world it might be a good idea to at least have an option to turn off this "feature".
Maybe you have point when you say it makes it hard to read when people write MySQL_Connect(),
MYSQL_Connect(), mySQL_DB_Query(), but it will be a nightmare when getLastWord($s) and GetLastWord($s) will actually be two different functions which may perform two different things. Try debugging that!
