It is unbelievable that this bug persists into 2009. It is time to fix
it.

Setting LC_CTYPE to something other than tr_TR solves nothing, it's not
even a workaround, you just get a bastardized locale in which regex
patterns do not match Turkish char.s and XXlower/XXupper functions
become nothing but a joke.
This bug has been around for ages, so it's not fixable? OK, don't fix
it, but at least provide a means to turn off(*) the horrible PHP design
decision "case-insensitive function lookup", so that we have an option
to avoid all this mess.
(*)like, a Php.ini directive

i guess nobody looks at this bug,
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'tr_TR');
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'en_US');
sure solves this but it is still a bug :)

This bug is still alive !!
Can someone have a look to this ?
While it is not fixed, you can set LC_CTYPE to another locale to get it
works again.

This also occurs in function names:
<?php
echo setlocale(LC_ALL, 'tr_TR')."\n";
HI5();
function HI5() { echo "Five!\n";}
?>
outputs:
---
tr_TR
Fatal error: Call to undefined function HI5() in...
---
whereas the following works OK:
<?php
echo setlocale(LC_ALL, 'tr_TR')."\n";
function HI5() { echo "Five!\n";}
HI5();
?>
outputs:
---
tr_TR
Five!

using php-cli 5.2.6 on Ubuntu 8.10.

This bug is still alive in version 5.2.5.
I tested the posted script and get the same results.
