Description:
------------
On windows systems you can use spl_autload to load namespaced class and it works!
On *nix system you can't!

Tested on linux (ubuntu 10.04 64 bit) with package : php5 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2

You can test the next script on a windows and on a linux or a mac.


Test script:
---------------
create a file called index.php
------------------------------
use My\Framework\Test;
spl_autoload_register();
$test = new Test();
echo $test;
------------------------------
Another file in a subdir My/Framework called Test.php
------------------------------
namespace My\Framework;
class Test
{
    public function __toString()
    {
        return 'hi';
    }
}
------------------------------

Expected result:
----------------
Expected result :
script that produce :
hi

Actual result:
--------------
windows:
hi
Linux:
Fatal error: spl_autoload() [<a href='function.spl-autoload'>function.spl-autoload</a>]: Class My\Framework\Test could not be loaded in /.../index.php on line 7

I just upgraded to PHP 5.3.3 and this bug still persists. 

Tested on Linux (Cent OS 5.5) with PHP 5.3.3.

Same Test Script and result as the original bug.

Hi, make sure you are using the right version... (phpversion())
 [2010-07-27 02:58 UTC] xstansa at gmail dot com
I've already checked that using phpinfo(). It is PHP 5.3.3.
 [2010-07-27 03:34 UTC] felipe@php.net
Hi, I forgot to say... the path that will be tried to be found it is lowercased. 
i.e. my/framework/test.php

See bug #52406

Thanks.

Are you saying that I'll have to rename all my php file names to be lowercase on 
Linux to use spl_autoload?
 [2010-07-28 00:20 UTC] felipe@php.net
Exactly. You can implement your custom autoload to behaves as you want. The lowercased stuff is good for some people, but is not the desired for others.
 [2011-02-23 03:36 UTC] mike at digitalstruct dot com
This is hard to believe that automatically lowercasing the path is not a bug... 
the majority of PHP users are actually on *nix platforms - especially in 
production.  Causing the paths to automatically be lowercase drastically takes 
away from the default functionality.

I apologize if I am being arrogant here - however, when you write include 
'My/Path/To/A/File.php' it does not lowercase that path so why should 
spl_autoload do anything different with the default behavior?

Offending code to fix this is on line: 303 in trunk of php_spl.c: 303 >---
lc_name = zend_str_tolower_dup(class_name, class_name_len);

Removing the str_tolower would resolve this issue and we would all be happy.  I 
will post to php-dev as well with a patch.

After searching around a while I found a workaround without performance loss.

1. Slower but not working with camelcase class files (like "MyClass.php"):
spl_autoload_register(function($classname) { require_once(__DIR__ . '/' . str_replace('\\', '/', $classname) . '.php'); });

2. Faster but not working with camelcase class files:
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . __DIR__);
spl_autoload_extensions(".php");
spl_autoload_register();
spl_autoload_register( function($classname) {} );

3. Faster and working with camelcase class files:
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . __DIR__);
spl_autoload_extensions(".php");
spl_autoload_register(function ($classname) { spl_autoload($classname); });

I'm sorry, my last post was not correct, case 3 does not work :-(

Bug is reproduced on 5.4.4.
