<?
$bob = "Foo";

if (${"B"."o"."B"} == ${"b"."o"."b"})
	echo "I work";
else
	echo "I don't work";

echo "1:".${"B"."o"."B"}."<br>";
echo "2:".${"b"."o"."b"}."<br>";

?>

If variables are supposed to be case-insensitive I would expect the referencing behavior to follow as well.

I'd love to see this fixed before 4.0.6 :-)

Variable names in PHP are case-sensitive:

Function names aren't. (this will propably change in future)
