PHP Bug Type: SPL related
Bug description: Feature request: spl_autoload_cs
Description:
------------
This is related to #49625
Ok I agree that spl_autoload() won't be touched because of BC (Seems the
convention to lowercase all filenames has been borrowed from Java and ppl
are actually using it).
How about a case sensitive function spl_autoload_cs() then? It should
behave excactly like spl_autoload() except that it skips the lowercasing
stuff. Projects using a case sensitive naming convention (PEAR, Zend
Framework, ...) can unregister the default spl_autoload() and register
spl_autoload_cs() and it will work.
I am aware that it is possible to write an own callback in PHP. The
problem is that you can't write the callback once and then put it in your
codebase because the callback is the glue between your script and the
codebase.
I do a lot of scripting PHP on the CLI and am tired of duplicating my
callback function code over and over again just to make sure the script
will work with a case sensitive design paradim.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
/**
* proposed usage of new feature spl_autoload_cs()
*/
spl_autoload_unregister('spl_autoload');
spl_autoload_register('spl_autoload_cs');
// executing a PEAR class would work now
$phpbin = System::which('php');
?>
