I am well versed in coding with xhtml which requires all lower case

is this acceptible
if ($_post [sender_email] == "") or does at have to be if ($_POST
[sender_email] == "")
in short, do uppercase and lowercase always have the same meaning.
thx,
PHP is case-sensitive. UppERCase is NOT the same as uppercase. HTML is
not case sensitive only because browsers are forgiving.
PHP variables are case-sensitive.
PHP FUNCTIONS are not.
You're on your own figuring out if class names/methods are/aren't
case-sensitive this week. :-v
1. classname are case-insensitive (at least in all the builds I have running)
but since 5.0.1 (IIRC) the engine honors your case when using get_class(),
in the past the class name was always returned lowercase. so:
php -r 'class Test {} $t = new Test; if ($t instanceof test) { echo "yeah!\n"; } echo get_class($t),"\n";'
will echo:
yeah!
Test
2. methodnames are the same as functionname with regard to case-sensitivity
3. constants (and class constants) are case sensitive.
...somebody beat me with a virtual stick if I am wrong!
