I recently added a note to http://www.php.net/explode and was informed that I should probably post it here.

Original Note:
I'm not sure if this is intentional, but there is no indication whether explode() is case insensitive. I ended up having to convert my strings and keywords to lowercase using strtolower() in order to do this. I'm using 4.0.4, FWIW.

I don't care one way or another if this is a bug or a documentation error since I was able to work around it, but I think other people may get confused when it fails to explode because there's no info about case sensitivity.

Thanks,

Strings are case sensitive.  Kinda like: if ($var == 'Bar') will return false if $var = 'bar'. 

Maybe because explode() is such a commonly used function, this could be mentioned here (that it's case sensitive).  But doing so may open up a large can of worms (having to document this everywhere).  I vote -.5 on implementing this.

At first glance I don't see "strings being case sensitive" mention in the types.string section, maybe it should be.
