New Comment:
We are sorry, but we can not support PHP 4 related problems anymore.
Momentum is gathering for PHP 6, and we think supporting PHP 4 will
lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 6
ready.

Description:
------------
Require_Once in PHP 4.4.7 appears to be case sensitive in checking
files already included.
This has triggered 'cannot redeclare class' in situations where a
classfile may be already loaded, but require_once doesn't see it.
In light testing, I have found that I have to force my code to switch
any include or require calls to lower case to avoid this.
I realize this is an old version of php, and 4 is officially 'dead';
but I am unaware if this has been fixed. (I wouldn't use 4, however the
site where we host refuses to move to PHP5 or update php4 to the
latest.)
The bug was originally identified in Version 4.3.4, see: Bug# 26552;
however I believe it has re-surfaced.
System Configuration:
Windows Server 2003
Apache 2.0.59
PHP 4.4.7
Reproduce code:
---------------
Make a class and put it in a file which you will require_once.
<?php class MyClass {} ?>
In the file you will run, call:
<?
require_once('myclass.php');
$obj = new MyClass();
require_once('MyClass.php'); // Will trigger an error
// because MyClass cannot be redeclared; however myclass.php
// is being loaded TWICE
?>
Expected result:
----------------
The expected result is to only load myclass.php ONCE.
To confirm the problem, empty the file myclass.php, or put some
non-class junk in it.
After each require_once, add: print_r(get_included_files());
You should see myclass.php the first time it is called,
and myclass.php, MyClass.php, the second.
Actual result:
--------------
Cannot Redeclare class MyClass in ... on line ...
