It will be confusing PHP preserve case for other while internally case insensitve...

If get_class() or like returns names with case preserved, it breaks BC. I expect additional parameter for all of these functions if it really implemented. I hope not, since it's a additional memory and performance loss... -- Yasuo Ohgaki _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
