Hi Theo:

<also not a flame>

It's interesting - I look at it like: is there any reason why you'd want a
StrPos(), Strpos(), etc. functions that do different things? Actually I
certainly always try to type things the same way, but if I accidentally type
Strpos instead of StrPos, I don't want to have that generate an error.

I follow a variable/function naming (and case) convention in both PHP &
other languages (all constants are UPPER_CASE for example). I agree that
this can help people understand the code, but this convention works just as
well in a case-insensitive language.

Actually, one thing that I REALLY like about the newer VB development
environment is that it will automatically correct/adjust the case of your
variables/functions to match their definition. This allows me to define
them according to my naming convention, but not have to worry about keeping
them straight in the code - the tool handles it for me & that's as it should
be. Since I use HomeSite for editing my PHP code (& ASP too), I don't get
that benefit.
