Description:
------------
When using require_once to include the same file but using different cases for the file name PHP issues an error. 

For example in file X I do this
   require_once('common.inc')
   require_once('Problem.inc')
   
In 'common.inc' I also have 'Problem.inc' included but like this:
    require_once('PROBLEM.inc')

Now when I run file X I get a redefination problem. On windows 
case doesnt matter. This is exactly the error I got:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare logactivity() (previously declared in d:\myphplib\WEB_LOGGING.inc:11) in d:\myphplib\WEB_Logging.inc on line 21

Reproduce code:
---------------
require_once('any_file.inc');
require_once('any_FILE.inc');

Expected result:
----------------
I dont expect errors.

Actual result:
--------------
I get errors.
