PHP case sensitivity: function names and class names are not differentiated, and variable names are differentiated.

This article mainly introduces the case sensitivity issue of PHP. the variable names in php are case sensitive, while the function names and class names are case insensitive, there may be occasional issues when writing code, so here is a summary.
However, I do not encourage you to use these rules. We recommend that you always adhere to the "case sensitivity" and follow the unified code specifications.

1. variable names are case sensitive

The code is as follows:

$ Abc = 'abc ';
Echo $ abc; // output 'ABC'
Echo $ aBc; // no output
Echo $ ABC; // no output

2. constant names are case-sensitive by default and are generally written in uppercase.
(But the default configuration item cannot be changed)

The code is as follows:

Define ("ABC", "Hello World ");
Echo ABC; // output Hello World
Echo abc; // output abc

3. the php. ini configuration item command is case sensitive.
For example, file_uploads = 1 cannot be written as File_uploads = 1

4. the function name, method name, and class name are case-insensitive.
However, we recommend that you use the same name as the one defined in the definition.

The code is as follows:

Function show (){
Echo "Hello World ";
}

Show (); // output the recommended Hello World statement

SHOW (); // output Hello World

The code is as follows:

Class cls {
Static function func (){
Echo "hello world ";
}
}
Cls: FunC (); // output hello world

5. the magic constants are case-insensitive. uppercase is recommended.
Including: __line _, _ FILE _, _ DIR _, _ FUNCTION _, _ CLASS _, _ METHOD _, and _ NAMESPACE __.

The code is as follows:

Echo _ line __; // output 2
Echo _ LINE __; // output 3

6. NULL, TRUE, and FALSE are case insensitive.

The code is as follows:

$ A = null;
$ B = NULL;
$ C = true;
$ D = TRUE;
$ E = false;
$ F = FALSE;
Var_dump ($ a = $ B); // outputs boolean true
Var_dump ($ c ==$ d); // outputs boolean true
Var_dump ($ e = $ f); // outputs boolean true

PHP variable names are case-sensitive. function names are case-insensitive and are often ignored by new users. the test is as follows.

PHP variable name case sensitive test:

The code is as follows:

$ Aaa = "jb51.net ";
$ AAA = "JB51.CN ";
Echo $ aaa. '-'. $ AAA; // jb51.net-JB51.CN
?>

PHP function name case-insensitive test:

The code is as follows:

Function bbb (){
Echo 'abc ';
}
Function BBB (){
Echo "Abc ";
}
?>

The above code will report an error :(! ) Fatal error: Cannot redeclare BBB ()
