Bug #30542 Using Paamayim Nekudotayim makes lowcase on function
Submitted: 2004-10-23 16:55 UTC Modified: 2004-10-24 01:04 UTC
From: jsgoupil at lookstrike dot com Assigned:
Status: Not a bug Package: Scripting Engine problem
PHP Version: 5.0.2 OS: WinXP
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2004-10-23 16:55 UTC] jsgoupil at lookstrike dot com
Description:
------------
When we use the Paamayim Nekudotayim with class on an unexistant function, this function is written in lowcase.
It's only a little bug and doesn't really affect me ;)

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class A {

}

class C extends A {
	public function test(){
		echo parent::TESTING();
		echo $this->TESTING(); // Comment line above to get this error...
	}
}

$c = new C();
echo $c->test();
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined method A::TESTING() in D:\www\LookStrike\ls_lite\a.php on line 8

and

Fatal error: Call to undefined method C::TESTING() in D:\www\LookStrike\ls_lite\a.php on line 9

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined method A::testing() in D:\www\LookStrike\ls_lite\a.php on line 8

and

Fatal error: Call to undefined method C::TESTING() in D:\www\LookStrike\ls_lite\a.php on line 9

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Function names are case insensitive.

I know that functions are case insensitive (and classes too) but to keep the same "pattern", it should display the same error as we use with $this-> keyword...

PHP doesn't remember the original case as that would make things slower and it uses more memory. It's still not a bug, but just expected behavior.
