Re: [PHP] Case Sensitivity
Filesystems are meant to be case-sensitive, and yes, URL's are as well. It's an abomination that Windows and old-style Mac filesystems are not. You need to keep track of that in your code. 'a' and 'A' are just as different as 'a' and 'b'. -Rasmus On Sun, 11 Aug 2002, Rich Hutchins wrote: > I've had a web site under development on my Win2k box at home.

Re: [PHP] Case Sensitivity
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.

[PHP] Case Sensitivity
I've had a web site under development on my Win2k box at home. I built and tested everything with PHP 4.2.2 and Apache 1.3.24. Now, I have transitioned everything up to my host who is using a Linux box, PHP 4.2.2 and Apache 1.3.26. One of the pages I designed has code that retrieves a list of thumbnails from a directory name passed into the page then embeds a hyperlink to a full size version of the thumbnail. Incidentally, the full size version is in the same directory as the thumbnail and has a very similar filename: tn_01.jpg and 01.jpg (guess which one's the thumbnail). Here's the problem: When I run the page on the web host's server, the link to the full size image dies. I've tracked the problem to the case of the linked filename. Basically, unless the filename in the href matches the case of the target file, the link dies and I get that nice, little red X indicating the link to the image is broken. For example, the target image DSC01.JPG _MUST_ be referenced in the href as: href='../path/to/resource/DSC01.JPG' If I reference it as href='../path/to/resource/dsc01.jpg' the target image won't show up. I have temporarily resolved the issue by designating the filename used in the href as upper case using the strtoupper() function, but I can't believe that's the way it's SUPPOSED to be done. What I'd like to know is does the Linux server introduce case-sensitivity issues? It doesn't seem to matter with the elements of the path, just the target filename. Help is appreciated.

Re: [PHP] Case-Sensitivity with PHP and MySQL
I had a similar question about case-sensitivity, and I was told that MySQL is automatically case-insensitive! But it depends on your version of MySQL. Go to the mysql manual and look at chapter 20.16 "Case sensitivity in searches". In the newest versions of MySQL, all searches are case-insensitive by default. To make them case-sensitive however, is a royal pain in the arse. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.

[PHP] Case-Sensitivity with PHP and MySQL
I am writing a PHP script that operates on a MySQL database that uses the e-mail address as the primary key. If the e-mail doesn't exist in the database (when a form is submitted), I want to insert a new record. If it does, I want to update the existing record. How can I make the query that checks if the e-mail exists case-insensitive? I want to avoid users creating another record if they type in their e-mail in a different case.

[PHP] case sensitivity checking?
Hi Guys, Just a quick question. If I have a user database, with joe_bloggs as a user, what would I need to do to make sure that his login details matched the case sensitivity in a MySQL database? Say if he logged in as JOE_BLOGGS, could I return an error? I'm guessing this is going to turn into some complicated regex that mashes my brain. Oh, another thing. Anyone know of any tools like PHP MyAdmin for PostGresSQL ?
