Linux file systems are case sensitive... So the file Hello.php is different to hello.php... Both can exist at the same time and contain different content, but they are different...On the windows file system files aren't case sensitive so Hello.php would be the same as hello.php...
So I suggest in your PHP coding that you get all the cases (of files) the same throughout your app, or if you want to be lazy do what you are doing at the moment (ie changing the case with strtoupper()) Andrew ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich Hutchins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 2:20 AM Subject: [PHP] Case Sensitivity > I've had a web site under development on my Win2k box at home.
