[PHP-DOC] #18630 [Com]: require_once is case sensitive From: csaba at alum dot mit dot edu (phpdoc <email protected>)
Date: 03/10/03

 ID: 18630

 Bug Type: Documentation problem
 Operating System: Windows NT 4.0
 PHP Version: 4.2.1
 New Comment:

This is documented quite clearly, but this behaviour on Windows is just
SO WRONG.

I vote (for all it counts) that the behaviour be changed.

this also affects 4.2.2 (and probably 4.2.3)

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

require_once('bah.php');
require_once('BAH.php');

Will "require" bah.php twice. I realize this makes sense on a case
sensitive file system, but on Windows (NTFS, I guess) or Mac OS X
(HFS+) it can be a surprise. Users should really use case consistently,
but sometimes a search and replace will change case or something
(that's what happened to me).

I'm not sure this behavior should be changed; it would be nice if it
was documented, though.

Sorry, I can't confirm this happens in a newer version of PHP!
